Coaching career

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.[3] In 1957, Miami University of Ohio named him as their new head coach. In 1957–58, his first season, Shrider's Redskins (now RedHawks) went undefeated against Mid-American Conference (MAC) opponents.[3] They became the first MAC team to ever win an NCAA Tournament game that year as well.[3] During Shrider's nine seasons as Miami's head coach he led them to four MAC championships and two NCAA Tournament appearances (1958, 1966).[4] He compiled an overall record of 126–96, and in 1996 he was named an honoree of the school's "Cradle of Coaches" award.[3][4]

After retiring from coaching in 1966, Shrider stayed as the school's athletic director until 1988.[3]
