CLEVELAND (AP) --       CLEVELAND (AP) - A person familiar with the situation says
LeBron James has not spoken to Michigan State's Tom Izzo about
Cleveland's coaching vacancy, and the two-time MVP has no plans get
involved in the Cavaliers' search.
      James has stayed clear of the Cavs' pursuit of Izzo and will
remain on the outside, said the person who spoke to The Associated
Press on the condition of anonymity because the team and the school
are not commenting on Izzo's status.
      James recently said in an interview that he will not lobby for
any coach.
      Izzo is weighing a jump to the NBA and would like some clarity
on James' plans. But the 25-year-old superstar is unlikely to
comment on his future before free agency begins on July 1.
