Statement from Head Coach Rick Carlisle on Calbert Cheaney Joining Indiana Hoosiers Men's Basketball Staff

“I want to congratulate Calbert Cheaney on returning to his alma mater and joining Head Coach Mike Woodson’s staff at Indiana University. We’re incredibly appreciative of Calbert’s innumerable contributions to our team during his time here, and after spending the last two seasons working with him, I can see why he’ll be such a great asset to the Hoosiers’ basketball program. I wish him all the best as he embarks on this new chapter in his career."

In coaching staff moves related to Cheaney’s departure, the Pacers announced that Head Video Coordinator Isaac Yacob will be promoted to Player Development Coach. Yacob joined the Pacers prior to the start of the 2022-23 season after spending three years on the Sacramento Kings staff.

Additionally, Martin Tombe has been named the team’s new Head Video Coordinator. Tombe, a former player from UC San Diego, was a member of the Pacers’ Team Assistant Program, an initiative created two years ago designed to foster professional growth, provide tangible experience, and create a pathway for advancement to those starting their coaching careers.
