FARGO,
N.D. – North Dakota State University head men’s basketball coach David
Richman has announced that Eric Henderson will join the NDSU staff as an
assistant coach. Henderson gained several years of coaching experience
at Wayne State (Neb.) and Iowa State University before taking over
boys’ basketball head coaching duties at Burlington Catholic Central HS
in Wisconsin.
“My
family and I are extremely excited to join the North Dakota State men’s
basketball program and the entire Bison family,” Henderson said. “I
look forward to working with Coach Richman and the rest of the staff to
build on the strong tradition and relationships that are already
established within the basketball program, athletic department, and
community.”
Henderson
most recently served five seasons as the head boys’ basketball coach at
Burlington Catholic Central in Burlington, Wis., leading the school to a
21-5 record for the 2013-14 season. He also handled school principal
and athletic director duties during his stay in Burlington.
Henderson
spent three seasons on Greg McDermott’s staff at Iowa State from
2006-09 – one year as a graduate manager and two years as ISU’s academic
learning specialist, assisting in monitoring the academic progress of
Iowa State basketball student-athletes.
“Eric’s
passion for the game and enthusiasm for life are infectious and will
translate extremely well into our Bison basketball program,” said
Richman. “We look forward to welcoming Eric, his wife Alicia, and their
boys Kooper and Kort to the Fargo-Moorhead community and the NDSU
family.”
Henderson
played four seasons for McDermott at Wayne State, helping the Wildcats
to back-to-back NCAA Division II tournament appearances. As a senior in
1999-00, Henderson averaged 11.3 points and 11.1 rebounds as WSU tied
for the regular season conference championship, won the league
tournament and advanced to the NCAA Division II Sweet Sixteen.
