Johnny Dawkins has been let go. Stanford needs a new coach. Who might the Cardinal target?
The Johnny Dawkins era of Cardinal basketball is over.
Naturally, the minds of Stanford Cardinal fans quickly move to wonder who will be the new head of the men's program in Maples.
Stanford Athletic Director Bernard Muir is a basketball guy. Muir played at Brown University. Following his college career, Muir was the assistant director of the Division I Men's Basketball Championship for 7 years before becoming the director of operations for the NCAA Tournament for 2 years. All this is to say that it is fair to assume Muir is very connected in the world of college basketball.
