Johnny Dawkins out at Stanford

[1390]

Per ESPN.com...156-115 over 8 seasons with 2 NIT titles and a sweet 16

sweet 16 was just year before last. not sure what NIT championships really mean but both in the last 4 seasons. i liked JD a lot as a player....so, maybe i'm losing objectivity and admittedly Stanford was pretty mediocre this year (i live in CO, now Pac country....sort of).....still seems a bit rough.

shows how good of a job Mike Montgomery did, he also did a nice job turning Cal around before retiring a couple seasons ago.

I was a big Dawkins fan as a kid. Besides Tisdale and other OU players he was my favorite college player. I still remember that great Duke team that lost to Louisville with Pervis Ellison in 86 in Dallas. Dawkins, Mark Alarie, Jay Bilas, Tommy Amaker, and I don't remember the 5th guy. Good team and they beat KU and Manning in the Final 4.

EDIT: David Henderson was the 5th guy. I was going to say that but wasn't sure if he played in 86 or on the Danny Ferry teams a few years later. Maybe he played on both, I don't remember.

I don't think it's so much a reflection of what Dawkins didn't do, but more of what Cal, Oregon State, Utah, Colorado ARE doing.

The Coach K tree bears more bitter fruit.

Tad Boyle at Colorado is a very good coach.
Utah's success in both football and basketball in the Pac 12 is surprising to me. I didn't think they would be able to compete but they have held their own.
