St. Louis’ head coach, pretty dang impressive what he’s been able to do there, currently in line to beat Missouri
Josh Schertz
- Thread starter UKgrad22
- Start date
I expect him to be in a P4 job next year.
Outside of Donovan, perhaps this guy should get an interview if Pope is gone after the season.
If push comes to shove and we’re in the coaching hunt, would 100% side with giving him a call just to see
OP, you're kinda late to the party on this one. Schertz is a very hot name and has been all off season. He has been mentioned A LOT as someone people want to be the next coach.
I recently watched one of his coaching clinics and he’s one of the brightest minds in coaching.
Who? Never heard of this guy? Anybody know anything about him?
Blew off Syracuse last March so he must expect better gigs to open up after this year.
He can coach, would need to know if he can get the talent to sign.
I’d take anyone over Pope at this point.
As long as he doesn't have creep vibes he will be able to recruit better than Pope. In fact anyone should be able to recruit with 20 Million to spend.
I worry Kansas will make a play for Schertz if Self retires.
Kansas first call will be to Florida Mark it down. Already has a natty young and would retire there.They don't give a _ _ it about the coed accusations they are win at all cost.
Yes, but would he be able to make a final four in his first year a title in his second year, and then at least win a title every other year while never doing worse than an elite 8? That is the only thing that would make about 50% of the fan base happy. Oh I forgot you also can't lose more than 5 games every year and you can't ever have an off night and play a close game against lesser competition.
Why would you even think Donovan, assuming you are not being snarky? If Batt and his team looked at BD, I would really question whether he understands hiring in this era. If BD wanted a top college job, he would have had it years ago. If Dusty May runs from the current college environment, why would anyone think Billy is cut out for it?
I would want someone who has demonstrated they can navigate both recruiting HS and the portal in the NIL era.
Donovan's career is enough to earn a phone call at a minimum. It isn't like he has been out of basketball for a decade. Yes, the NBA is different but at the same time he knows what that league looks for.
You really think Donovan would be completely inept in figuring out the NIL era? He would have a GM doing most of that work and I would not doubt his recruiting ability either because we have zero reason to considering he is one of the best ever to coach college.
I gave you a “like” …but I don’t LIKE that,lolRumor around here is Tennessee next year
Schertz ending up at any big program is a problem, but ending up at a rival of Kentucky is an even bigger problem. Anywhere, but Kansas or Tennessee. I guess this means if Kentucky can get Shertz guaranteed then they almost have to drop Pope after the season. I kinda like Pope. I guess it says something if there's a guy you'd much rather have. Also, Schertz is the only replacement that is obvious to me. Him or stay the course I guess. See what the 7'5" recruit can do. I can't stand Oats. Would probably stop watching if Oats coached here. And no one else really jumps out at me.
He quickly made a splash at Indiana State, proving he could translate from DII to DI pretty seemlessly. Then he quickly made another really big splash at St Louis, proving he could go go from low major to mid-major seemlessly. He's very likely to have the same ease going from mid-major to high-major. Guys like to play for him. He's likeable, unlike Oats, Golden, and Hurley. He plays exciting, connected, team ball. He gets the most out of his talent. He'll very likely be able to stick and stay for a long time at his next stop, probably retire from there, and will likely consistently put up big numbers in the win column year after year in the process. And here's the thing, you want that guy on your side, not that guy stacking up those numbers in opposition to you. With all that said, I will admit I do not know the other low and mid-major up and comers. I do know that Schertz made the biggest impact the fastest. Maybe there are others that are on a similar trajectory. As far as high major coaches go, Oats is probably the only one that is gettable and I just don't like him. Other coaches are likely already parked where they will stay. There's just not much reason to leave another good high major job, with plenty of resources, for the pressure cooker that is Kentucky.
Shertz is the best choice available, IMO. He’s won at every stop. His players work extremely hard for him.
His career is over. He is 61 and has not coached in college for over a decade. Completely inept is not the standard. When has BD said he has any interest? Fans keep talking about him but he never gives them any reason to. And, reports suggest he is not interested in dealing with NIL. It’s time for his name to leave our mouths.
Schertz signed a 6 yr extension last year at $22 million & has an unknown buyout because SLU is a private school. He turned down Providence & Syracuse to stay put.
He got turned down from adding Robbie Avila to this years roster because he already had a hard 15 man roster even though Avila won an injunction for a 5th yr eligibility.

A lot of fawning and coronating over a guy that has won at a 65.5% rate in six seasons at lower levels.
