Out at Stanford, Johnny Dawkins has completed and officially introduced his staff. The key hire: former Santa Clara coach Dick Davey, who, among his other accomplishments, discovered Steve Nash.
More importantly, he knows West Coast recruiting inside out, and provides Dawkins with the sort of knowledge that he won't have for several years. When he took the Arizona State job, Herb Sendek was in a similar situation and made sure to hire guys who knew the nooks and crannys of recruiting out there.
