The unlikely story of a former top junior tennis player, who quit to pursue a career coaching basketball, an unlikely rise through the ranks:
May says his friend is “as good as there is” as a coach, noting his “obsession with learning and growing.” After his first season at LMU in 2009, Schertz spent a week with Bill Self’s Kansas program. When it was time to meet with Self, the Jayhawks coach got pulled into a meeting and handed Schertz his playbook. “You couldn’t have given me the Torah and it’d have been any better,” Schertz says. He frantically took notes the next two hours.

He was a tennis prodigy and high school dropout. Now he's one of the hottest coaches in the country
Josh Schertz has Indiana State headed toward its best season since Larry Bird was a Sycamore. He took a unique path to this moment.
