Kenny Johnson, the former Louisville basketball assistant coach who was fired in November following the news of Louisville’s involvement in the FBI’s deep dive into college basketball, has been hired as an assistant coach at La Salle.
Johnson came to Louisville in 2014 after two seasons on Tom Crean’s staff at Indiana. While with the Hoosiers, Johnson established a reputation for being one of the top recruiting assistant coaches in the country.
Before becoming a college assistant, Johnson was already a formidable presence on the AAU scene. For six years he served as the vice president/assistant director of basketball operations for well-known AAU program TeamTakeover.
