| Head Coach Scott Schumacher enters his 1st season as the head coach of the NDSCS Wildcats. | |
| In 21 years as a basketball coach at the collegiate level, one thing has followed "Coach Schu" -- winning. Schumacher currently presides as President of the NJCAA Basketball Coaches Association. He also serves as the Junior College Representative to the USA Basketball Collegiate Selection Committee. His career started as an assistant coach at Sheridan Junior College in Sheridan, Wyoming under NJCAA Hall of Fame head coach Bruce Hoffman. Coach Schumacher was then hired as an assistant at Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, Texas. |
|
| Coach Schumacher was again on the move as he took over as head coach of Paris Junior College in Paris, Texas. After spending five very successful years at Paris, which included a conference championship and a TEC Coach of the Year Honor, he took over the Kilgore College program. By his fourth year, Kilgore had secured a national ranking of No. 2. | |
| Along with another conference championship, he has had the privilege of coaching seven NJCAA All-Americans. He remains the only coach to win the Texas Eastern Conference Championship at two schools. Coach Schumacher and his wife Lisa are the proud parents of three children: Ross (7), Lonna (2) and newborn Alec. | |
