Josh Schertz has been named as the new head coach of the Saint Louis men's basketball team, following his successful tenure at Indiana State. Schertz guided Indiana State to its first 30-win season in 45 years, clinching the Missouri Valley regular-season title and reaching the NIT championship game. This achievement led to his appointment as the successor to Travis Ford, who was relieved of his duties three weeks ago.
Saint Louis, which finished the previous season with a 13-20 overall record and a 5-13 mark in the Atlantic 10 conference, last participated in the NCAA Tournament in 2019. Indiana State, under Schertz's leadership, concluded the season with a 32-7 record, narrowly missing out on an NCAA Tournament berth after falling to Seton Hall in the NIT championship game.
