UCF's appeal: Coach has Duke DNA

UCF's new basketball coach is not one to toot his own horn. If he did, he could sound like the loudest instrument in the band.

That's really never been Johnny Dawkins' way.

He'll work tirelessly to sell UCF's future when, in fact, the program's biggest seller is its head man. He won't brag, though, meaning you'll probably have to drag out of him just who Johnny D really is and what he has done.

In actuality, if Dawkins had an oversized personality or even a controversial charisma, his arrival wouldn't need to be announced, his name formally introduced.
