Chisholm is 5 ft 6 in (1.68 m) and hails from Maryland.[2] The first portion of his high school career was spent at McDonogh School in Owings Mills, Maryland before he transferred to Paul Laurence Dunbar High School in Baltimore.[3] He accepted a scholarship to play for the Delaware Fightin' Blue Hens in Newark, Delaware. As a freshman in 1984–85 he was named to the East Coast Conference (ECC) All Rookie Team.[4] After compiling 200+ assists in each of his four seasons at Delaware (no other player in program history recorded 200+ in any single season),[1] Chisholm was named a finalist for the Frances Pomeroy Naismith Award as a senior, which is given annually to the country's best male player who is 6-feet tall or shorter.[1][4] That season he was also named a second team all-conference selection, and United Press International named him to their Little All-America team.[4]
He had a brief stint in the now-defunct United States Basketball League for the Philadelphia Aces.[5]
