Josh Schertz Lincoln Memorial Set Plays by Wes Kosel

Lincoln Memorial University, an NCAA Division II institution located in Harrogate, Tennessee, has been a powerhouse in Division II since Josh Schertz took over. Schertz, who was named the Head Coach for the Railsplitters in 2008, went 14-14 in his first season and never looked back. After that first season, he went to 20-9, and since then has never lost more than 6 games in a season. His combined record the past three years is 92-9 and overall he is 204-47. In 2015-2016, Lincoln Memorial made a run to the NCAA Division II National Championship game, but lost to Augustana (South Dakota) in the final. Before coming to LMU, Schertz was an assistant at High Point University, Queens University, Lynn University, and Florida Atlantic University. He is a three-time National Coach of the Year and a four-time South Atlantic Conference Coach of the Year.

Lincoln Memorial Set Plays

Cross Elevator

This play is designed to get an open 3-point shot on the wing. The play starts with 1 passing to 3 on the left wing and then cutting to the opposite corner. 3 drags the ball up to the top of the key as 5 and 4 set an elevator screen for 2 at the left elbow. 2 cuts through the screen to the left wing for a shot or rip and drive baseline.

Pitch Weave PNR

The Railsplitters start in a 2-3 high set and go through a couple of dribble handoffs (weave action) to start the play. Once LMU is ready, 5 steps out and sets a high ball screen for a guard getting the ball off of a weave handoff. The ball screen can be timed to be set towards the single side or two-man side if preferred.
