Here’s what Jim L. Mora had to say about UCLA interim head coach Mike Johnson:
“Mike Johnson and I coached together one year in Atlanta, and as I know you already know, I released Mike after that year and have since had a good relationship with Mike. We both matured in terms of our relationships with each other and I think we’re on very good terms right now.”

Johnson coached for Mora for two years, in 2004 and 2005, before being relieved of his duties.
