    Calbert Cheaney is returning to Indiana to relearn the college game.

    The Big Ten's career scoring leader was hired Saturday by coach Tom Crean as the Hoosiers' new director of basketball operations. Crean made the announcement during his father/son basketball camp, ending several days of speculation that one of the best players in school history would be back on campus.

    "Calbert knows the standard that it takes to be successful academically as a high-level student athlete, and he knows what is expected to play at the NBA level," Crean said in a statement. "He is excited to learn the business of college basketball."

    Cheaney replaces Drew Adams, who was hired for the same position by New Mexico coach Steve Alford -- also a former Indiana star.
