College career
Cooney red shirted his freshman season at Syracuse with the Orange, since he realized that minutes were limited in a back court that also contained Scoop Jardine, Brandon Triche, Dion Waiters, and Michael Carter-Williams. On Syracuse's 2012–13 Final Four team, he played infrequent minutes. In his final three seasons, he started 102 consecutive games. In his red shirt senior year, he became the first Syracuse player in school history to play for two Final Four teams, averaging 12.7 points per game for the season. Cooney scored 22 points, on 9-of-18 shooting from the field, in his final game in an Orange uniform, an 83–66 loss to North Carolina. Cooney scored 1,437 points in his college career, and he shot .337% from the 3-point range. His 281 made three-pointers trails only Gerry McNamara and Andy Rautins, in the school's record books.

One month later, he extended his contract for two more months. On November 11, 2016, he signed with Rasta Vechta of the German Basketball Bundesliga. On December 30, 2016, he parted ways with Vechta after averaging 3.4 points per game. On January 18, 2017, he was acquired by the Long Island Nets of the NBA Development League.
