Los Angeles (March 3, 2003)— The Los Angeles Clippers announced today that former Continental Basketball Association head coach Dennis Johnson has replaced Alvin Gentry as head coach of the team. Johnson, who earned CBA Coach of the Month honors in January of 2000, is one of 10 current NBA head coaches with CBA ties.

Johnson is in his fourth season with the Clippers' coaching staff. He joined the team as an assistant midway through the 1999-00 season after beginning his professional head-coaching career earlier that season with the CBA's La Crosse Bobcats. Before his NBA call-up, Johnson led the Bobcats to a 14-22 record and promoted three players to the NBA (Brandon Williams, Mark Hendrickson, and Mark Davis).
