What They’re Saying About Coach Scott Merritt
Tom Crean, Former Head Men’s Basketball Coach, Marquette
“Scott has always been an achiever. Whatever he’s done he goes all In and puts the time and effort into being successful. Gardner Webb has made a great choice and has Scott and his entire family helping build on the success of this program. Scott will make everyone better and hold everyone in the program responsible to build on the tradition and opportunities that are in front of them everyday. Our entire family and his Marquette Basketball family are proud of him and exited to watch him lead.”

“I played for coach Merritt at Marquette for four years and he is a big part of the reason why I am in the WNBA today. His dedication to the players and love for the game showed day in and day out. Not only was he a great coach but also a great mentor and someone who I looked up to on and off the court. Nobody deserves this position more than coach Merritt. Gardner-Webb women’s basketball program is blessed to have him as the head coach and I see nothing but success in the future. Congratulations coach!”
Marisa Moseley, Head Women’s Basketball Coach, University of Wisconsin
“I am incredibly proud of Scott on being named the next Head Coach at Gardner-Webb. He has worked extremely hard to prepare himself for this opportunity! A proven recruiter and relationship builder, Scott will no doubt hit the ground running! Bulldog community, you got an excellent coach and an even better person.”
Dennis Gates, Head Men’s Basketball Coach, University of Missouri
“I am not shocked nor surprised of Scott’s career trajectory. I always said to myself that he would one day become a successful head coach. I have seen his life transition from a college student to coach! His resume does not list how special he is, but the many calls late night and questions I’ve received over the years speak to his passion to learn and grow. I look forward to continue following & supporting him during his journey and all his future success.”
