Johnny Dawkins, a longtime assistant coach at Duke, has been hired as Stanford's new basketball coach.

Dawkins replaces Pac-10 Coach of the Year Trent Johnson, who left for LSU earlier this month. Dawkins will be formally introduced in a news conference on campus Monday, the school said.

'We are thrilled to welcome Johnny and his family to Stanford,' athletic director Bob Bowlsby said in a statement. 'His credentials as a player, combined with his coaching experience gained mentoring under a Hall of Fame coach at a university such as Duke, made him a perfect fit for Stanford.

I am confident Johnny's leadership skills, coaching ability and commitment to attract top-flight student-athletes will be a driving force in continuing Stanford's tradition of basketball excellence.'
