Dr. Rex Chaney, a four-time Ohio Valley Conference Coach of the Year, is in his 38th season leading the Morehead State men's golf program.

Chaney was named the conference's top coach after the Eagles captured league championships in 1977, 1981, 1993 and 1999.  He has also directed MSU to six other top-three league-tournament finishes.

Chaney has coached 20 All-OVC selections, six All-OVC Tournament honorees, six conference-tournament runners-up, three league-tournament medalists and two OVC Players of the Year.  The group includes his son Lee and current Professional Golf Association Tour member Josh Teater.

Chaney has been involved with multiple sports at Morehead State over the years, including seven seasons as the school's head baseball coach and four years as an assistant men's basketball coach under Bob Laughlin.

He led the Baseball Eagles to a 111-56 (.665) record from 1961-67.  The OVC's 1963 Baseball Coach of the Year, Chaney guided MSU to at least a share of the league's east division crown in 1961, 1962, 1963 and 1964.

Chaney is the only member of the Morehead State Athletic Hall of Fame to be inducted while still a member of the coaching staff.

The golf mentor holds bachelor's and master's degrees from Morehead State, in addition to a doctorate from Indiana University.  He joined MSU's Health, Physical Education and Recreation faculty in 1961.

Chaney, originally from Perry County, Ky., is married to the former Sarah Kidwell of Bardstown, Ky.  The couple has one daughter (Jennifer), one son (Lee) and two grandchildren (Eric and Olivia).  Lee finished his golf career with the Eagles in 2009.
