There's a lot of rumor and speculation being tossed around about the open head coaching job at Princeton, but this early in the search for Joe Scott's replacement there is not an equal amount of concrete information.
The best I can offer up is a few lines from the transcript of yesterday's Georgetown interviews at the Meadowlands:
Q: The Princeton job just came open. Your assistant Sydney Johnson has been talked about as a candidate. Talk about is he ready for a Division I coaching job?
Coach John Thompson III: Who has talked about him being a candidate for that job?
Q: Published reports last couple of days in the wake of Joe going to Denver?
Coach John Thompson III: Has Gary [Walters] said it?
Q: Gary has not said it.
Coach John Thompson III: You know, all of my staff, my entire staff, I think one day they will all be very good head coaches. Obviously Sydney at Princeton is home for him, and one day sooner or later he's going to be a very good coach. Whether it's there or somewhere else, time will tell.
