I remember having a conversation about the fact Henderson rarely had winning records wherever he had been in his career.
Johnson is different. He’s had winning seasons at 4 different schools and twice at Tulsa with different staffs, he’s been a part of 4 conference championships, has advanced to the NCAA tourney 4 times, with a 5th canceled in the Covid year, and he’s won a game each time he’s been in the tournament (including a sweet 16 as a player).
He also has a law degree, which you don’t see often on a basketball staff.
An interesting tidbit from researching his basketball journey, he coached at Eastern Illinois in 05-06. The leading rebounder on that team? George Tandy, who later started on CSU’s 08-09 NCAA tournament team.

One quick question - I find it odd that he went from being an assistant coach to a video coordinator last year. What gives there? Seems odd

I asked about that also. Don't know how true this is but I was told that position is not a step down we might think it is. Also told that position at a high major pays as good if not better than assistant coach at many midmajor programs
