Kyle Cheesebrough completed his third year with the Cardinals as an assistant coach in 2014 before being hired as an assistant at Indiana following the end of the season.
A member of the Louisville baseball team in 2008 and 2009, Cheesebrough returned to the program prior to 2012 after serving one season as the volunteer assistant at the University of Pittsburgh in 2011.
In each of his first two seasons on the Louisville coaching staff, Cheesebrough worked with the Cardinals' catchers, including sophomore Kyle Gibson, who was named to the 2012 NCAA Tucson Regional All-Tournament Team after hitting .417 with two doubles in four games. In his one season at Pitt in 2011, Cheesebrough worked with catcher Kevan Smith, who earned First Team All-BIG EAST honors while hitting .397 with 11 home runs and 56 RBI, and Anthony Defabio, a Third Team All-BIG EAST designated hitter who finished with a .337 average.
During his two seasons as a player at Louisville, Cheesebrough played in 32 games with 18 starts as the Cardinals won back-to-back BIG EAST Tournament titles, won one BIG EAST regular-season title, made two NCAA Regional appearances and advanced to an NCAA Super Regional. After his playing career ended, the native of Rowlett, Texas, completed his degree in education in 2010 while working as a student assistant as U of L set a school record with 50 wins, won a second straight BIG EAST regular season title and earned No. 7 national seed in the NCAA Championship.
