Former Santa Clara coach Dick Davey was hired Monday to be one of the assistants on new Stanford coach Johnny Dawkins' staff a year after retiring from the profession.

Former Loyola Marymount coach Rodney Tention and Mike Schrage, who spent nine seasons with Dawkins at Duke, are the other two assistants on the staff officially announced Monday. Former Saint Mary's assistant Dan Shell and Yale assistant Mark Sembrowich also were hired for undetermined roles on the basketball support staff.

Davey has been a fixture in college basketball in the area, spending 30 years with the Broncos, including 15 as head coach before retiring after the 2006-07 season.

"I am excited to have our coaching staff on board," Dawkins said. "During the search process, our objective was to try and find the right fit and chemistry for our program and I believe we have done that successfully."
