In just his first three seasons as a head coach at any level, Johnny Dawkins has continued to make an impact on one of college basketball's most accomplished programs.

Dawkins' contributions since arriving on The Farm have come in the form of both team and individual successes. One year after leading Stanford to a 20-win season for the 20th time in school history, Dawkins oversaw Landry Fields' progression from reserve to all-league performer and eventual NBA Draft pick.

Under Dawkins' guidance, Fields produced one of the most memorable seasons in school history, earning All-Pac-10 First Team honors after leading the conference in scoring (22.0 ppg), minutes played (36.3), 20-point games (21) and double-doubles (13) while finishing second in rebounding (8.8). Fields scored in double-figures in all 32 games and his 704 points represented the third-best single-season total in school history. He was chosen in the second round of the 2010 NBA Draft, as the 39th overall pick by the New York Knicks. Fields became the 31st NBA/ABA Draft choice in program history and first since Brook Lopez and Robin Lopez were taken 10th and 15th overall, respectively, in 2008.

Prior to his arrival at Stanford, Dawkins' spent 11 years as a coach at Duke, the Blue Devils won a national championship in 2001, six ACC regular season championships, seven ACC Tournament titles, and posted a 330-60 record (142-34 in league play). For four consecutive seasons from 1999-2002, Duke finished the regular season ranked No. 1 in both national polls, marking the first time that has happened in college basketball history. Duke reached the No. 1 national ranking in eight of the 11 seasons that Dawkins coached for the Blue Devils.

Dawkins led the Duke player development efforts during his tenure. Nine Blue Devils were tabbed NBA lottery picks and one of his pupils, Elton Brand, was named Co-NBA Rookie of the Year. He played an integral role in the development of NBA first round selections, Shelden Williams, who was selected fifth overall, and J.J. Redick, who was selected 11th overall, in 2006. Other first-rounders under Dawkins' guidance included Roshown McLeod, Brand, Trajan Langdon, Corey Maggette, William Avery, Shane Battier, Jason Williams, Mike Dunleavy, Dahntay Jones and Luol Deng. In addition, Duke had four National Players of the Year -- Brand in 1999, Battier in 2001, Williams in 2001 and 2002 and Redick in 2005 and 2006 -- and 13 All-Americans during Dawkins' tenure.

Highly-regarded as a true teacher of the game and a well-respected veteran of West Coast basketball, Dick Davey begins his fourth season as Stanford's associate head coach and works primarily with the team's post players.

No stranger to the Bay Area hoops scene, Davey previously spent 30 years working with the men's basketball program at Santa Clara and served the Broncos' head coach for 15 seasons.

A four-time WCC Coach of the Year, Davey finished his illustrious career with a 251-190 overall record and a 122-88 mark in WCC competition. He directed the Broncos to three NCAA Tournament appearances, three WCC regular season championships, a WCC Tournament title in 1993 and four 20-win seasons. Under his watch, Santa Clara boasted 23 All-WCC selections and four WCC Player of the Year honorees (Sean Denison, Marlon Garnett and Steve Nash twice). Davey's 251 career victories rank second in the school record books behind coaching legend Carroll Williams.

Under Davey, Santa Clara developed a reputation as a giant killer, as his teams earned five memorable victories over top-25 programs. Seeded 15th and making their first NCAA Tournament appearance since 1986-87, the Broncos stunned fifth-ranked and second-seeded Arizona 64-61 in the opening round of the 1993 NCAA Tournament. Three years later, 10th-seeded Santa Clara knocked off seventh-seeded Maryland 91-79 in another NCAA Tournament first round shocker. Other signature upsets included the Broncos' 78-69 win over fourth-ranked and defending national champion UCLA at the 1995 Maui Invitational in the season opener, an 80-67 win over a then-No. 13 California squad led by Jason Kidd and Lamond Murray in 1993 and a 77-66 victory over fourth-ranked North Carolina at the 2004 Pete Newell Challenge.

Numerous players coached by Davey at Santa Clara went on to play professional basketball both in the United States and overseas, including two-time NBA MVP Steve Nash, who played for Davey from 1992-96. Marlon Garnett (1993-97) also spent time in the NBA, playing for the Boston Celtics during the 1998-99 season before continuing his pro career in Europe. Other former Santa Clara players under Davey that also reached the professional basketball ranks include Doron Perkins, Brian Jones, Steve Ross, Kyle Bailey and Jason Sedlock.

Mike Schrage begins his fourth season as an assistant coach with the Cardinal.

Schrage is involved with all aspects of coaching and scouting, in addition to being heavily involved with all aspects of recruiting.

Head coach Johnny Dawkins first began assembling his staff with the addition of Schrage, who previously spent the last nine seasons as a member of the Duke coaching staff.

During his tenure at Duke, Schrage most recently served as the program's director of basketball operations from 2002-08. In that capacity, Schrage organized video scouting and assisted the coaching staff in day-to-day operations. He also oversaw and assisted with a number of logistical duties, including practice coordination and team travel. Schrage was a member of Duke's 2001 national championship squad and two NCAA Final Four teams.

Schrage also served as the video coordinator for the USA Basketball Senior National Team staff at the 2006 World Championship games in Japan. He served in that same capacity at the 2008 Tournament of America in Las Vegas.

Charles Payne begins his fourth season with the Stanford program and his first as an assistant coach.

Payne is directly involved with the marketing of the program, including promotion and community relations efforts. He also oversees the development and promotion of the Buck Cardinal Club, Sixth Man Club and all special events. For the past two seasons, Payne has served as the liaison for the program's weekly radio show, Inside Stanford Sports with Johnny Dawkins. He also coordinates the Cardinal Reading Program and the team's visits to Children's Hospital and Ronald McDonald House.

In addition to coordinating the Career Development Program, Payne is involved with all operational aspects of the men's basketball program.

Payne served as a West Coast scout for the Charlotte Bobcats from 2003-06 before serving as a West Coast scout for Marty Blake & Associates during the 2006-07 and 2007-08 seasons.

Payne spent three seasons as an assistant coach at California from 1993-96, helping guide the Golden Bears to NCAA Tournament appearances in 1994 and 1996. During this time, he coached two Pac-10 Freshman of the Year honorees (Tremaine Fowlkes, Shareef Abdur-Rahim) and three Pac-10 Player of the Year selections (Jason Kidd, Shareef Abdur-Rahim, Ed Gray).

Jeff LaMere enters his fourth season at Stanford, serving as the program's Assistant Athletic Director/Director of Operations.

Prior to arriving at Stanford, LaMere focused on scouting and conducting basketball camps and clinics internationally, including throughout Europe and in Africa.

LaMere previously served as an assistant coach at VCU for four seasons (2003-06), helping the Rams achieve their first back-to-back postseason appearances in 20 years. His duties with the Rams included game preparation, recruiting, working with the team's perimeter players and monitoring academic progress.

A 1994 graduate of Duke, LaMere spent six years at his alma mater before arriving at VCU. After serving one year as Duke's administrative assistant, LaMere was promoted to Director of Basketball Operations. In this capacity, he coordinated scouting, game breakdowns and video (including game preparation, game analysis, individual player development, and advanced scouting reports). He also served as the director of the annual Coach K Basketball Camp and coordinator of Duke's annual fall coaching clinic.

During his time at Duke, the Blue Devils won five regular season Atlantic Coast Conference titles and four ACC Tournament championships, participated in two Final Fours and captured the national championship in 2001.
