Josh Schertz is an American basketball coach who is the current head coach of the Indiana State Sycamores men's basketball team.[1][2]

Coaching career

Schertz's coaching career began as a student assistant with Florida Atlantic for the 1999–2000 season.[3] He'd then move on to Lynn, where he was an assistant for two seasons before a two-year assistant coaching stop at Queens University in North Carolina.[4] In 2003, Schertz would follow Queens' head coach Bart Lundy to High Point where he'd stay until 2008 when he accepted the head coaching position at Lincoln Memorial.[4]

In his 13 years coaching the Railsplitters posted 11-straight 20-win seasons, including four 30-win seasons en route to 10 NCAA Division II men's basketball tournament appearances.[1] Schertz was also named South Atlantic Conference Coach of the Year a record seven times while also having the highest overall winning percentage among all active NCAA head coaches at any level in a 10-year period.[4]

On March 17, 2021 Schertz was named the 26th head coach in Indiana State history, replacing Greg Lansing.[1][5]
