Saint Louis, Josh Schertz reach contract extension, AD says

"The agreement comes as Schertz was considered one of the most likely mid-major candidates to draw interest from power conference schools. But May confirmed the new deal before Saint Louis' Atlantic 10 quarterfinal against George Washington."

"The Billikens are the top seed in the A-10 tournament after Schertz led them to a 27-4 overall record and a 15-3 mark in conference play, claiming their first regular-season championship since 2014. They are considered likely to make the NCAA tournament entering Friday, according to ESPN's Joe Lunardi."

"Schertz is in his second season at Saint Louis with a 46-19 overall record and an NIT appearance in 2025. Prior to the Billikens, he was the coach at Indiana State for three seasons and had a successful run at Division II Lincoln Memorial, including three Final Four appearances."
