Stanford rewards Johnny Dawkins with new contract

Upsetting No. 2 Kansas in the Round of 32 last March has earned Stanford coach Johnny Dawkins a contract extension.

Not bad for a guy who, at this time last year, plenty of people thought wouldn't make it through the spring as Cardinal coach.

The school announced Wednesday that Dawkins' deal -- the money and years were not disclosed, as Stanford is a private university --- has been officially restructured.
