Stanford Reportedly Fires Head Basketball Coach Johnny Dawkins

STANFORD, Calif. (AP) - A person with direct knowledge of the decision tells The Associated Press that Johnny Dawkins has been fired after eight seasons of coaching the Stanford men's basketball team.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity Monday because the school hadn't announced the dismissal. Dawkins guided the Cardinal to the Sweet 16 of the 2014 NCAA Tournament and NIT championships after the 2012 and '15 seasons.

Stanford went 15-15 this season and finished ninth in the Pac-12 Conference at 8-10.
