'''Calbert Nathaniel Cheaney''' (born July 17, 1971) is an American [[basketball]] coach and former player who serves as Director of player development for the  [[Indiana Hoosiers men's basketball|Indiana Hoosiers]] men's basketball of the [[Big Ten]]. He starred as a player for the [[Indiana Hoosiers men's basketball]] from 1989 to 1993 under coach [[Bob Knight]]. Cheaney ended his career as a three-time [[NCAA Men's Basketball All-Americans|All-American]] and remains the Big Ten's all-time leading scorer with 2,613 career points. He led Indiana to a 105–27 record and the NCAA Tournament all four years, including a Final Four appearance in 1992.

At the conclusion of his collegiate basketball career Cheaney captured virtually every post-season honor available, including National Player of the Year (winning both the [[John R. Wooden Award|Wooden]] and [[Naismith College Player of the Year|Naismith]] award), a unanimous [[NCAA All-American|All-American]], and [[Big Ten Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Year|Big Ten Player of the Year]].<ref name="Hickey">{{cite news|last1=Hickey|first1=Pat|title=Sources: Calbert Cheaney, UE in serious talks for head coaching position|url=https://www.courierpress.com/story/sports/college/evansville/2018/03/16/sources-calbert-cheaney-ue-serious-talks-head-coaching-position/425838002/|access-date=18 March 2018|publisher=Courier & Press|date=16 March 2018}}</ref> Cheaney spent 13 years in the NBA playing for five different teams.

==Early life==
Born in [[Evansville, Indiana]], Cheaney played high school ball at [[William Henry Harrison High School (Evansville, Indiana)|William Henry Harrison High School]] in Evansville and was selected to the 1989 Indiana All-Star team.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.courierpress.com/news/2011/jul/16/no-headline---ev17_harrisoncoaches/ |title=Hard work helps create 'cradle of coaches' at Harrison High School|access-date=2012-11-16 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110721005510/http://www.courierpress.com/news/2011/jul/16/no-headline---ev17_harrisoncoaches/ |archive-date=2011-07-21 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Cheaney was a high school stand-out, but a season-ending injury midway through his senior year pushed him off the national radar and left him as a virtual unknown in Indiana University's #1 ranked recruiting class of 1989.<ref name="Throwback" />

==College career==
Cheaney played [[small forward]] for the [[Indiana Hoosiers men's basketball|Indiana University Hoosiers]] for head coach [[Bob Knight]]. He was Knight's first left-handed player. Cheaney was known as a smooth leader all four years at Indiana. During the last three of his years at Indiana, the team spent all but two of the 53 poll weeks in the top 10, and 38 of them in the top 5. The Hoosiers were 87–16 (.845) those years and a 46–8 (.852) mark in the [[Big Ten Conference]].<ref name="Hammel">{{cite book|last=Hammel|first=Bob|title=Glory of Old IU|year=1999|publisher=Sports Publishing Inc|location=United States|isbn=1-58261-068-1|url-access=registration|url=https://archive.org/details/gloryofoldiuindi0000hamm}}</ref> Of the four years Cheaney played the Hoosiers went 105-27 and captured two [[Big Ten Conference|Big Ten]] crowns ('91 and '93). The 105 games won during Cheaney's four years was the most of any Hoosier to that point.

===Freshman year===
Cheaney began his career with a flash, scoring 20 points in the season opener of his freshman year (the only Indiana freshman to ever do so). However, the [[1989–90 Indiana Hoosiers men's basketball team|1989–90]] team ran into tougher competition in January after winning all 10 of their pre-conference games. Taken aback by the intensity of play within the Big Ten, the young Hoosier squad went 8–10 in conference play and were upset by California in their NCAA Tournament opening game. Cheaney averaged 17 points a game as a freshman.<ref name="Throwback">{{cite news|last1=McCarthy|first1=Alex|title=Throwback Thursday: Calbert Cheaney|url=https://247sports.com/college/indiana/article/throwback-thursday-indiana-basketball-legend-calbert-cheaney-reflects-on-fab-five-46247139/|access-date=18 March 2018|publisher=Inside Indiana|date=14 July 2016}}</ref>

"Our freshman year was very, very subpar," Cheaney said. "We started out excellent and when we got into the Big Ten we were in for a rude awakening. I knew once that season was over and we started working out over the summer, we were going to become a pretty good team. I knew we were going to be a team to be reckoned with the next three years."<ref name="Throwback" />

===Sophomore year===
Cheaney averaged 21.6 points per game as a sophomore, with the Hoosiers ending the [[1990–91 Indiana Hoosiers men's basketball team|1990–91]] regular season with an overall record of 29–5 and a conference record of 15–3, finishing 1st in the Big Ten Conference. As conference champions, the Hoosiers were invited to participate in the [[1991 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament|1991 NCAA Tournament]] as a 2-seed, where they advanced to the Sweet Sixteen.<ref name="Indiana Basketball Men's Database">{{cite web|url=http://www.indystar.com/story/sports/college/indiana/2013/10/29/indiana-basketball-mens-database/3308409/|title=Indiana Basketball Men's Database|work=IndyStar|access-date=November 14, 2015}}</ref> Cheaney noted, "I had a very good sophomore year, but I played a lot of international ball. I played on the Tournament of America team and the World University team. I think I wore myself out a little bit, and when my junior year rolled around, I wasn't up to par."<ref name="Throwback" />

===Junior year===
As a junior during the [[1991–92 Indiana Hoosiers men's basketball team|1991–92 season]], Cheaney felt he struggled from being worn down by substantial play over the summer. Moreover, with the addition of other talent from players like [[Alan Henderson]], Cheaney "didn't have to score as much." He regressed to an average of 17.6 points per game and his three-point shooting percentage dropped significantly.<ref name="Throwback" /> The Hoosiers finished the regular season with an overall record of 27–7 and a conference record of 14–4, finishing 2nd in the Big Ten Conference. The Hoosiers were invited to participate in the [[1992 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament|1992 NCAA Tournament]] as a 2-seed, where they advanced to the Final Four, but fell to [[Duke University|Duke]] in a foul-plagued game in [[Minneapolis]].<ref name="Indiana Basketball Men's Database"/><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/sports/longterm/memories/final4/articles/semi92b.htm|website=washingtonpost.com|title=Duke Stymies Hoosiers, 81-78}}</ref>

In the West Regional final while preparing to face UCLA in Albuquerque, just before practice ended, head coach Bob Knight ran the whip across Cheaney's backside as Cheaney, the team's leading scorer, was bent over, with his shorts pulled down slightly. On Thursday, both Albuquerque newspapers published photographs of the incident. Cheaney appeared to be laughing in one of the photos.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Tribune|first=Chicago|title=KNIGHT'S WHIP NO JOKE TO NAACP|url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1992-03-29-9201290194-story.html|access-date=2021-03-05|website=chicagotribune.com|language=en-US}}</ref>

===Senior year===
As a senior during the [[1992–93 Indiana Hoosiers men's basketball team|1992–93 season]], Cheaney averaged 22.4 points per game and 6.2 rebounds per game. The Hoosiers finished the regular season with an overall record of 31–4 and a conference record of 17–1, finishing 1st in the Big Ten Conference. As the Big Ten Conference Champions, the Hoosiers were invited to participate in the [[1993 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament|1993 NCAA Tournament]] as a 1-seed, where they advanced to the Elite Eight for the second year in a row, but were defeated by [[Kansas Jayhawks men's basketball|Kansas]].<ref name="Indiana Basketball Men's Database"/><ref name="Hammel"/>

Over the course of his career at Indiana, Cheaney scored 30 or more points thirteen times and averaged 19.8 points per game, with a high of 22.4 as senior. With 2,613 career points, he is the all-time leading scorer of both Indiana and the Big Ten.<ref name="AP"/> At the conclusion of his collegiate career, Cheaney had captured virtually every post-season honor available. He was the National Player of the Year (winning both the [[John R. Wooden Award|Wooden]] and [[Naismith College Player of the Year|Naismith]] award), a unanimous [[NCAA All-American|All-America]], and [[Big Ten Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Year|Big Ten Player of the Year]].

He spent six years playing for the Bullets/Wizards (including a playoff appearance in 1997). He would go on to play for the [[Boston Celtics]], [[Denver Nuggets]], and [[Utah Jazz]], before closing his career out with three years with the [[Golden State Warriors]], retiring after the 2005–06 season.<ref name="AP"/> During his thirteen-year NBA career, Cheaney played for five different teams, averaging 9.5 points and 3.2 rebounds.<ref name="AP">{{cite news|title=Calbert Cheaney to join Indiana staff|url=https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/news/story?id=6675971|access-date=5 April 2012|newspaper=ESPN|date=18 June 2011}}</ref>
