| Stan Johnson will bring a plethora of knowledge and skills to Southwest Baptist University as he will be the assistant coach to Jeff Guiot.
Johnson had a stellar NCAA Division I and II career as he played three years at Southern Utah and finished his career at Bemidji State.
In only one year at Bemidji, he was named to the all-NSIC Honorable Mention team. In the NSIC semifinal game, he nailed seven three-pointers for a NSIC record in a 79-78 overtime loss to MSU-Moorehead. For his performance, he was named to the NSIC all-tournament team, the first Beaver to ever be recognized in the tournament. He was also the team captain and led the Beavers to a 20-10 record.
He finished the season first in minutes per game (30.7), and total assists (114), second in total steals (46), three-point percentage (.425), scoring (13.5), and third in three-pointers (54) and rebounding (3.2).
While at Southern Utah, he was a member of the 2001-02 team that made the NCAA Tournament for the first time in the history of the University and was also the team captain.
The 2003-04 season brought a change for Johnson as he moved from the playing floor to the bench as an assistant coach. In that year, he helped to guide BSU to their first-ever appearance in the NCAA Tournament. With his position as the assistant coach, he was the first minority to be hired at BSU in the athletic department.
Johnson graduated in 2003 from Southern Utah University with a bachelor's degree in communication and sports broadcasting.
