Coaching career
[edit]Shrider then became a high school boys' basketball coach at Gallipolis High School until 1955, at which point he took over the boys' basketball team at Fairborn High School.[5] In 1957, Miami University of Ohio named him as their new head coach.[6] In 1957–58, his first season, Shrider's Redskins (now RedHawks) went undefeated against Mid-American Conference (MAC) opponents.[5] They became the first MAC team to ever win an NCAA Tournament game that year as well.[5] During Shrider's nine seasons as Miami's head coach he led them to four MAC championships and two NCAA Tournament appearances (1958, 1966).[7] He compiled an overall record of 126–96, and in 1996 he was named an honoree of the school's "Cradle of Coaches" award.[5][7]
After retiring from coaching in 1966, Shrider stayed as the school's athletic director until 1988.[8]
