Indiana men’s Basketball’s busy offseason continued yesterday with the announcement that Calbert Cheaney would be joining the staff as director of player development. This is Cheaney’s second stint with Indiana, after spending 2011-2013 with the program in various capacities.
Cheaney remains the all-time leading scorer in Big Ten history and is the only Hoosier to have ever won the Wooden award, which he took home in 1993 alongside Big Ten MVP. He went on to be the sixth pick in the 1993 NBA draft.
Cheaney spent 13 seasons in the NBA, averaging just under 10 points per game in that span before getting into coaching.
