Jermaine Henderson ’98, a former Golden Knights men’s basketball player, had a particularly touching twist to his Saint Rose Athletics Hall of Fame induction during HOME.COMING & Family Weekend on September 28. He was inducted alongside one-time Assistant Men’s Basketball Coach Don Bassett, who served as a mentor and friend to Henderson while he was a student.

“It’s an honor to be in a class with a coach of mine, Don Bassett,” Henderson said.

Both men were featured in videos released in the days before the induction ceremony. Watch Don Bassett’s video here, and catch up with Henderson, who now lives outside of Boston in Melrose, in this video.
