Off The Burner 11.29.23--Burner Ball

Josh Schertz is a name to watch.

Indiana State head coach Josh Schertz just wins, man. The Sycamores are off to a 6-1 start after beating the brakes off a good Southern Illinois team last night. After an 11-win season in year one, Schertz led ISU to a 23-13 record last year. They finished top-100 in KenPom for the first time since 2013 and they’re sitting at 72 as of writing. Before he got to Indiana State, he won 83% of his games over 13 seasons at D2 powerhouse Lincoln Memorial. They won their conference nine (!) times. Schertz is a rising star in the business and is more proof that athletic directors should hire winners at any level.
