"Basketball coaches don't have levels. Josh Schertz hasn't been a great Division II coach or Division I coach. He has been, and is, a great basketball coach, period. Once you study Schertz's teams, it's clear that he sees and teaches the game on a different level of innovation and ingenuity. His teams perform at a masterclass level with disciplined freedom. They are like classically trained jazz musicians, and the result is beautiful to watch. Schertz is a prime example of how a great coach can demand excellence with empathy, caring, and a 'we first' attitude. The masses will soon learn what Saint Louis already knows: Josh Schertz is the genuine article. Saint Louis just hired one of the brightest minds in the game."
– Jay Bilas, ESPN
"Josh Schertz is one of the brightest coaching minds in college basketball and he has proven it over 16 years as a head coach. More importantly, he is an outstanding mentor to young people and his values are in perfect alignment with those of Saint Louis University. They have found a great fit."
– Fran Fraschilla, ESPNÂ
"I've known and respected Josh for a long time and have always enjoyed our discussions on coaching philosophy, leadership, as well as X's and O's. His teams are a joy to watch and he always finds the best in people. Saint Louis is getting one of the best basketball minds in the country and an even better person. I can't wait to follow Josh and the Billikens program for years to come."
– Dusty May, University of Michigan Head Coach
"In hiring Josh Schertz, SLU has hired a coach who will lead with unparalleled character, elite level knowledge of the game, and work habits. He is someone who is able to connect with and develop young men to be great players and people. Josh teaches the game in a truly unique way which has led to his rarely seen success. I along with many others in the NBA learn from him each time I watch his team play and admire his ability to prepare and innovate. John Wooden once said, 'The most powerful leadership tool you have is your own example.' In Josh Schertz becoming the head coach at Saint Louis, the Billikens have added a person who truly embodies leading by example."
– Sean Sweeney, Dallas Mavericks Asst. Coach
"Coach Schertz is the epitome of hard work. In every stop in his coaching journey, he has taken his teams to an elite level and maximized their potential. Where Coach Schertz goes, winning is soon to follow. Josh's dedication to his players, staff and administration speaks to his commitment to the community and to the university he represents. SLU is getting a genuine winner."
– Peter Patton, Chicago Bulls Director of Player Development
"Josh is a rising star in college basketball and SLU hit a home run with this hire. His teams are always some of the most enjoyable teams to watch because they play with such passion and togetherness. All he does is win wherever he goes."
