Stanford fires head-coach Johnny Dawkins
He won't coach the team anymore
Stanford has parted ways with coach Johnny Dawkins after eight seasons, the school announced Monday.
"This decision was not easy and it was a very difficult discussion for both Johnny and me, but like everything else during his tenure at Stanford, he handled it with class, respect and the utmost concern for his student-athletes," athletic director Bernard Muir said in a statement.
"There are so many great things that Johnny was able to accomplish on The Farm, including improving the graduation rate, achieving an Academic Progress Rate of 1000, an NCAA Sweet 16 appearance and two NIT championships. The student-athletes Johnny coached during his tenure at Stanford represented the University with class and humility."
