Ettin Named an NABC 30 Under 30 Honoree
April 18, 2017 | Men's Basketball
For the second consecutive season, the Princeton men's basketball program has had an assistant coach named an NABC Under Armour 30 under 30 honoree.
A year ago, it was Brett MacConnell. This time, Skye Ettin has the honor.
Ettin was in his first season as an assistant coach with the program in 2016-17 after serving as the team's Director of Basketball Operations the season before.
"Skye makes others around him better," Mitch Henderson, the Franklin C. Cappon-Edward G. Green '40 head coach of Princeton men's basketball, said. "He cares deeply about the team and how he in turn can help in the development of each player in our program. I'm very pleased that he is receiving national recognition for his dedication to making Princeton basketball the best it can be."
The 30-under-30 list includes honorees from all NCAA divisions, and Ettin is one of 15 from Division I and the only Ivy League coach to be so recognized.
Ettin, who handles the program's West Coast recruiting efforts, focuses on skill development with the team. This season, he worked with three first-team All-Ivy League honorees, including Ivy League Player of the Year Spencer Weisz, Ivy League Defensive Player of the Year Myles Stephens, and fellow first-teamer Steven Cook. It was the first time since 1968 that Princeton had three first-team All-Ivy League players, and Stephens' Defensive Player of the Year honor was Princeton's second since the award began in 2009. Ettin was also part of a staff that saw Henderson recognized as both the Ivy League Coach of the Year for the first time in the three-year history of that award and the NABC District 13 Coach of the Year for the first time in Henderson's tenure.
Princeton went on a 19-game winning streak, the second-longest in program history, to finish 14-0 in the Ivy for the first time since 1998 - and the first for any team since 2008 - and win the inaugural Ivy League Tournament. Princeton drew fifth-seeded and 14th-ranked Notre Dame in the first round of the NCAA Tournament and took the Irish to the final possession before a 60-58 defeat.
