Men's basketball assistant coach Joe Scott '87 will be leaving the Princeton program next season to take over the head coaching position at Air Force, ending his seven-year stint with the Tiger coaching staff. Scott will be formally introduced as the Falcons' new coach in a press conference April 10.
Scott began his career at Princeton as a player, where he was the Tigers' starting point guard for three seasons and a captain in 1986-87. He first became an assistant coach with Monmouth, where he served for one year before coming to Princeton. The Tigers have compiled a record of 163-61 since Scott assumed his position on the Princeton bench.
Since becoming the Tigers' No. 1 assistant coach — four years ago — Scott has seen Princeton average 23 wins per season and qualify for postseason play every year. Now, however, he will take on a different challenge as he assumes control of a rebuilding Air Force program. The Falcons finished the 1999-2000 season 8-20, with just a 4-10 mark within the Mountain West conference. Air Force's former head coach, Reggie Minton, compiled a record of 142-276 in his 16 years at the helm.
