    I watched Henson play in college. Gritty player who made things tough for the opposition.

    Coach Henson has also made significant contributions to our community. I often see him helping out with youth basketball in Henderson.

    When I first saw the headline I was afraid he had accepted a position elsewhere. I'm glad to see he'll still be around.
