Indiana University targets assistant coach
ALL-MET ELITE
It looks like Calbert Cheaney has passed on moving up from IU's director of basketball operations to fill the assistant coaching spot opened when Bennie Seltzer left to take over the Samford program.All indications are the job will go to Kenny Johnson, a Towson assistant coach. Towson's 1-31 record isn't a factor for Crean. However, Johnson's longtime connection with Team Takeover, a powerhouse AAU program in the Washington, D.C., area, is a definite plus. Current Hoosiers Maurice Creek and Victor Oladipo played for Team Takeover. IU is also looking at a pair of current Team Takeover players from the Class of 2013 in BeeJay Anya and Stanford Robinson. Robinson also plays high school ball at Paul VI in Fairfax, Va. Johnson coached there for four years. Johnson and his wife attended Thursday night's awards celebration at Assembly Hall. Cheaney has assumed Seltzer's duties in recent weeks. He did evaluations during the Adidas Spring Invitational.
