Adam Stanco’s in-depth interview with University of Central Florida head coach Johnny Dawkins. They discuss playing for Coach K and taking Duke to new heights as he became National Player of the Year. Dawkins takes you through his NBA journey, beginning as a No. 10 pick and even what it was like to compete in a dunk contest with Michael Jordan. He reveals the relationships he built with various NBA coaches and later details his own transition from a player to a coach. The longtime Duke assistant explains what it’s like to spend time inside the Blue Devil program and tells the remarkable story of how a friendship with the late great Derek Smith came full circle when Smith’s son was a star recruit being coveted by Duke. Dawkins also lays out some of the challenges he faced as head coach at Stanford and offers advice to up-and-coming coaches.
