Schertz's coaching career began as a student assistant with Florida Atlantic for the 1999–2000 season.[2] He then moved on to Lynn, where he was an assistant for two seasons before a two-year assistant coaching stop at Queens University in North Carolina.[3] In 2003, Schertz would follow Queens' head coach, Bart Lundy, to High Point, where he stayed until 2008 when he accepted the head coaching position at Lincoln Memorial.[3]

In his 13 years coaching, the Railsplitters posted 11-straight 20-win seasons, including four 30-win seasons, en route to 10 NCAA Division II men's basketball tournament appearances.[4] Schertz was also named South Atlantic Conference Coach of the Year a record seven times, while also having the highest overall winning percentage among all active NCAA head coaches at any level in a 10-year period.[3]

On March 17, 2021, Schertz was named the 26th head coach in Indiana State history, replacing Greg Lansing.[4][5]

On April 6, 2024, it was announced that Schertz had been hired as the head coach for the St. Louis Billikens, replacing Travis Ford.[4][6]
