SSU is headed by Rich Shayewitz who is set to begin his second season with the program after being named head coach in 2021. 

Henderson completed his two-year Cougar career by reaching 1,006 points and claiming Western State Conference (WSC), South Division First Team selections as both a freshman and sophomore. He was also a California Community College Men's Basketball Coaches Associations (CCCMBCA) All-State Team select in the 2021-22 season.
