Richard D. Chaney (born January 23, 1984 in Los Angeles , California ) is an American basketball player with Puerto Rican citizenship who played basketball professionally in Europe after studying in his home country . In 2013 he was with the Oberwart Gunners Austrian runner-up and national player for Puerto Rico, with whom he won the runner- up at the continental finals American Championship 2013 . Afterwards he was exclusively active in Latin America in addition to his second home Puerto Rico. With Club Malvín, Chaney won two consecutive championships in 2014 and 2015 in Uruguay .
Career
Chaney began his studies in 2002 at the University of Utah and played for the ambitious university team Utes in the Mountain West Conference of the NCAA , which were finalists in the 1998 NCAA Division I Basketball Championship . In his third college season, the Utes reached the Sweet Sixteen of the final tournament in 2005 . Then left point guard Mark Jackson as senior and sophomore Andrew Bogut , who was registered for the NBA Draft and was selected as the first player, the regular team. A sensation caused a sensation that after the coaching change one season before, sophomore Justin Hawkins and Junior Chaney, also members of the Starting Five , left the team along with other reservists to continue playing in another college team. In this case, the regulations of the NCAA stipulate that the player is not eligible to play for one year. Chaney completed his final college season for the Trojans at Troy University in the US state of Alabama , in which he scored almost 15 points per game.
2007 Chaney signed a professional contract in Turkish Bursa at Oyak Renault . In the following season, Turkish coach Tolga Öngören brought him to the Walter Tigers in Tübingen in the German basketball league . When Öngören signed a contract with the regional rival and league competitor EnBW Ludwigsburg for the 2009/10 season , he finally signed him for this team. After the Ludwigsburg could not qualify for the play-offs for the championship, Chaney, who was still tied to the club with an option for another season, was released from his second home Puerto Rico for an engagement in the summer league Baloncesto Superior Nacional . In the meantime, the coach changed to Markus Jochum in Ludwigsburg , who decided not to redeem the option of a further commitment from Chaney. Thereupon he was signed in September 2010 on an initially limited basis of three months by the league competitor Eisbären from Bremerhaven as a replacement for Steven Esterkamp . His contract was not extended by option at the end of 2010 and Chaney had to leave the polar bears team in January 2011.
After another season in Puerto Rico, Chaney will play in the 2011/12 season together with his former Tübingen and Ludwigsburg teammate Michael Haynes at Optima from Gent in Belgium under the former coach of TBB Trier Yves Defraigne . After the end of the season he played again in his second home, Puerto Rico, for the Atleticos from San Germán , before he got a contract with the Oberwart Gunners in the ABL in December 2012 . With the Gunners he reached the play-off final series for the Austrian championship in the Admiral Basketball Bundesliga 2012/13 , which was lost in five games against BC Zepter Vienna . Chaney then made his debut for the Puerto Rican national team in a final round when they won the silver medal at the 2013 American Championship after the narrow final defeat against Mexico and secured direct qualification for the 2014 World Cup finals . Chaney wasn't there, but he was able to secure two championships in 2014 and 2015 with Club Malvín from the Uruguayan capital Montevideo . For the American Championship in 2015 Chaney returned to the circle of the national team, in which Puerto Rico in fifth place in the second group stage, however, missed the medal round in the knockout system . Chaney first played for a year with CD Libertad from Sunchales in Argentina , before returning to his second home Puerto Rico and the local BSN league in the summer of the northern hemisphere .
