Pfeiffer University

Entering the 2023-24 season, Pete Schoch has six seasons under his belt and is the 11th Head Men’s Basketball coach at Pfeiffer. 

Schoch led the program to its first USA South Divisional Title since joining the league, in 2021. The last men's basketball championship for Schoch and the Falcons came in 2017, when Pfeiffer captured the Conference Carolinas Regular Season Title. 

"Pete is a great recruiter, has an outstanding basketball mind and loves the style of play that's become our trademark," said former Vice President for Athletics Bob Reasso. "It's very important for us and our fans to play this up-tempo style that is hard to play against and gets everyone in our gym excited to watch. 

Schoch had a legendary high school coaching career before coming to Misenheimer. Schoch spent 13 years as the head coach at Father Gabriel Richard High School in Michigan and led the program to five Detroit Catholic League Conference Championships, eight District Championships, one Regional Title and a Michigan State Tournament Final Four appearance. Schoch was named Detroit Catholic League Coach of the Year in 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and was twice named the Ann Arbor News Men's Coach of the Year in 2006 and 2008.
