Marquette University has named Stan Johnson as an assistant men's basketball coach, the school announced Tuesday.
Johnson replaces Mark Phelps, who is reportedly leaving the Golden Eagles to join Sean Miller's staff at the University of Arizona.
"I am excited to welcome Stan and his family to the Marquette basketball family," Marquette head coach Steve Wojciechowski said. "He is an outstanding person, who has established himself as one of the top young basketball coaches in the country.
"Stan is a tremendous addition to our coaching staff and a tireless recruiter, terrific relationship builder and someone who believes in the values that align with both the university and our men's basketball program."
Johnson comes to Marquette after spending the past two seasons as an assistant coach under Herb Sendek at Arizona State University. Highly thought of by ASU athletic director Ray Anderson, Johnson was the lone assistant retained by new Sun Devils coach Bobby Hurley.
"My family and I are extremely excited about being a part of the university and living up to the high standards of its men's basketball program," Johnson said. "Ingrained in the fabric of the Marquette family are the very things we believe in -- people, tradition, and culture.
"I'm humbled at the opportunity to lock arms with one of college basketball's great young coaches in Steve Wojciechowski and I look forward to working shoulder to shoulder with the great staff that's already in place. Marquette basketball is one of the elite programs in the country and I'm so proud to be a small part of such an amazing place."
Prior to his two seasons at Arizona State, Johnson served as an assistant to Phelps at Drake University from 2011-13. Johnson has also coached at the University of Utah, Cal State Northridge, Southwest Baptist University and Bemidji (Minn.) State University.
Johnson played three years at Southern Utah University, where he helped the Thunderbirds to a berth in the 2001 NCAA tournament. He spent his senior season at Bemidji State, where he averaged 13.5 points per game.
