Johnny Dawkins has been hired as Stanford's new head basketball coach, replacing Trent Johnson who left for LSU.
I'm happy that Dawkins got a head coaching job, but this really screws up Duke's future. When Coach K retires in the next 5, 10, or 15 years, Dawkins was almost a lock to take his place. Dawkins is a good recruiter and knows the system well, but now we have no sure replacement.
Anyone have any ideas for a replacement? I don't think anybody would leave a head coaching job to be an assistant (Amaker (Harvard), Bender (Assistant at Hawks), Brey (Notre Dame), Dougherty (TCU)) but maybe Quin Snyder or David Henderson might be good replacements.
