Report: LSU to name Johnson coach

Cbasketball Betting Lines

04/09/2008 - New Orleans, LA (Cbasketball Betting) - LSU has chosen Stanford's Trent Johnson as its next men's basketball coach, replacing John Brady, who was fired in February.

According to a report in the New Orleans Times-Picayune, Johnson will be introduced at a Thursday afternoon press conference.

The 51-year-old Johnson comes to Baton Rouge after four years at Stanford, where he led the Cardinal to an 80-48 record. This past season, Johnson coached Stanford to a 28-8 mark and a trip to the Sweet 16 in the NCAA Tournament.

Including five years at Nevada, Johnson owns a 159-122 career coaching mark and has made four NCAA Tournament appearances. He also led the Wolfpack to the 2004 Western Athletic Conference championship and a berth in the Sweet 16.

Brady was dismissed just two years after leading the Tigers to the Final Four. LSU struggled to an 8-13 start under Brady, and finished the regular season 13-18 after interim coach Butch Pierre took over for the final 10 games.

Brady has since moved on to be named the head coach at Arkansas State.
