Associate head coach Stan Johnson is leaving Marquette and becoming the next men’s basketball coach at Loyola Marymount University, the Lions’ athletic director Craig Pintens announced in a statement Friday morning.
“Stan has tremendous vision for the future of LMU men’s basketball, and he has the distinct ability to connect with and inspire student-athlete on and off the court,” Pintens said in the statement.
The 2019-20 season was Johnson’s fifth with the program after being promoted to associate head coach in June 2017.
Johnson had a close relationship with senior guard Markus Howard and also helped bring graduate transfer Jayce Johnson to Marquette.
