BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Indiana coach Mike Woodson hired Big Ten career scoring leader Calbert Cheaney as his new director of player development Tuesday.
Cheaney had spent the previous three seasons on the staff of the NBA's Indiana Pacers.
It's Cheaney's second coaching round at his alma mater. He was the director of operations in 2011-12 and helped oversee the internal and external development of Indiana's players in 2012-13, both seasons on Tom Crean's staff.
Cheaney will not be involved with recruiting in his new role.
"I could not think of anyone better suited to be part of this program than Calbert Cheaney," Woodson said in a statement announcing the hire.
