Schertz's future at SLU

Post by todd-parker »

With the success that Josh Schertz is having in only his 2nd year at mid-major SLU, not to mention the success he had at his prior stops, it's inevitable that he is going to be mentioned as a replacement for fired coaches in the power 5.

Case in point with the now open spot at Kansas State:

Schertz is in year 2 of his 6-year contract with SLU. How far should SLU be willing to go to keep him? Do you shell out the big bucks (he had a higher offer to stay at Indiana St.) or do just accept the fact that mid-major coaches will always be looking to move up and try to find the next big thing?

you gotta try and keep him -- i think a move to kst is a sideways move for him and he will have much better options, don't be surprised if the NBA doesn't come calling. His offensive creativity is drawing a lot of attention from NBA execs.

Big East money would have really helped in retaining him.

Honestly, I think it will be hard to keep him. He may be the #1 candidate for most openings.

It's very possible he will switch jobs with Porter Moser.
