Johnson, who is considered one of the true teachers of the game, is a perfect fit for one of the most dominant basketball programs in the last two decades. Johnson, a Stanford assistant coach for three seasons from 1996-99, held down the head coaching spot at Nevada for five campaigns (1999-2004) before returning to The Farm. During the 2003-04 season, Johnson led Nevada to the NCAA Sweet Sixteen for the first time in school history as the Wolf Pack tied a school record with 25 wins (25-9). Nevada posted upset victories in the 2004 NCAA Tournament over Michigan State and Gonzaga in their own backyard before the being beaten by eventual NCAA runner-up Georgia Tech in a regional semifinal game. Nevada also tied for a share of the Western Athletic Conference regular season crown for the first time in school history and captured the WAC Tournament Championship.

Despite the obstacles, Johnson helped lead the Cardinal to its11th consecutive NCAA postseason appearance. With an 18-13 overall record and 11-7 mark in the Pac-10 Conference (third place finish), Johnson mentored three players to Pac-10 All-Conference teams: Chris Hernandez (first team), Dan Grunfeld (first team) and Matt Haryasz (honorable mention).

Grunfeld was honored as a 2005 ESPN The Magazine Academic Second Team All- American selection while four of the five first-team Pac- 10 All-Academic spots were awarded to Cardinal players (Grunfeld, Hernandez, Rob Little and Nick Robinson). Jason Haas was a second team selection as well.

Grunfeld added to his academic honors when he was picked as a CoSIDA/ ESPN The Magazine Academic All-American. Johnson proved his coaching and recruiting expertise as he oversaw the rise of a previously struggling Nevada program to the premier program in the WAC. Prior to Johnson s arrival, Nevada had made just two NCAA Tournament appearances in school history and had never won an NCAA Tournament game. His success included the development of three players who were selected all-conference, including Kirk Snyder, the WAC league MVP and honorable mention All-American as a junior. Snyder was the 16th player chosen in the 2004 NBA Draft by the Utah Jazz, and is now playing for the Houston Rockets.
