Josh Schertz is maintaining secrecy regarding his choice regarding SLU.

As the Indiana State basketball season approaches its potential end with just two games remaining, Coach Josh Schertz took a moment on Monday to reflect on the Sycamores’ achievements, particularly their run in the NIT.

Amid speculation from St. Louis University fans eagerly awaiting news of Schertz’s possible appointment as their next coach, there was keen interest in dissecting his remarks. However, according to a source, Schertz has not yet informed his team of any departure plans. At an NIT press conference preceding tonight’s game against Utah at 6 p.m., Schertz offered no clues regarding his future.

“We’re reaching the final stretch,” Schertz remarked. “It’s somewhat bittersweet because we know the journey will conclude this week, one way or another. But it’s been an incredible ride with an exceptional group of players.”

A source in Indianapolis indicated that Schertz has yet to communicate any departure intentions to players or staff, suggesting that such information might only surface after the last game. Media covering the team have received no indications from Schertz about his plans moving forward.

Schertz has continually expressed gratitude towards Indiana State fans for their unwavering support, notably acknowledging two sold-out games at Hulman Center in recent weeks. On X, he wrote, “No one has had it better.”

The relatively subdued atmosphere surrounding the SLU coaching search over the past week reflects a process patiently awaiting resolution. Sources have suggested since the conclusion of SLU’s season that Schertz is the likely successor to Travis Ford.

However, the Sycamores’ success in the NIT has delayed any potential move, with a victory tonight possibly propelling them into Thursday’s championship game. Both the semifinals and championship have sold out, with a significant contingent of Indiana State fans expected to travel from Terre Haute, located 85 miles from the arena.

The outcome following Indiana State’s exit or triumph in the NIT remains uncertain, leaving the situation poised for developments.
