When Greg Byrne hired Jay Johnson as the new head baseball coach at Arizona, one of the first things that Johnson needed to do was fill out his assistant staff, and do it quickly.
In steps Dave Lawn, who served as Johnson's pitching coach at Nevada for two years, He also has seven years of experience at the same position at USC in his past. But Lawn was offered a job that most people in his position would have trouble turning down.
"I had the opportunity to stay as the head coach at Nevada," Lawn told me.
