Eric Henderson is leaving South Dakota State basketball to accept the head coaching job at Drake. The 46-year-old spent six seasons at the helm of the Jackrabbits, leading them to two NCAA Tournament appearances. He compiled a 129-60 record in Brookings. Here’s a look at possible coaching candidates who could replace Henderson.

Drake University announced on Friday that it has hired South Dakota State’s Eric Henderson as its next men’s basketball head coach. Henderson played college basketball under Greg McDermott at Wayne State College in Nebraska and later joined McDermott at Iowa State as a graduate manager.
