With all the hubbub over junior forward Maurice TaylorÕs imminent decision about whether or not to leave Michigan for the NBA, one Wolverine got away without much notice.

Michigan assistant coach Scott Perry said yesterday that he will take the head coaching job at Eastern Kentucky, a Division I school in the Ohio Valley Conference, about 25 miles from the University of KentuckyÕs Lexington campus. Perry will accept the position at a 10 a.m. press conference today in Richmond, Ken. Eastern Kentucky Athletic Director Robert Baugh did not return phone calls placed to his office yesterday.

The 33-year old Perry replaces Mike Calhoun, who tendered his resignation in February. Calhoun had little success in Richmond last year: the Colonels were just 8-18 overall and shared the conference cellar with Morehead State with 6-12 records.
