DAN SCHWIETERMAN (NOBLE COUNTY)A native of Indiana, Dan Schwieterman has enjoyed a great life in the state of Ohio coaching the sport of basketball. A 1969 graduate of Bryan High School in Indiana, Schwieterman made his way to the Buckeye State, where he earned a bachelor’s degree from Ohio University and a master’s from the University of Dayton.
When he wrapped up his phenomenal coaching career as a boys basketball coach, Schwieterman had guided his teams to 459 wins. The bulk of those victories were produced at Shenandoah High School. His time with the school covered an impressive 34 years. Prior to his time at Shenandoah, he spent one season as a head coach for old Madison High School (now a part of Buckeye Trail in Ohio).
Schwieterman directed five Zep teams to the Pioneer Valley Conference championship during his Shenandoah days. His 1991 and 1997 teams won Ohio Valley Athletic Conference titles.
He was named the Pioneer Valley Conference Coach of the year five times. In addition, he was a four-time Eastern District and two-time OVAC Coach of the Year honoree.
Other honors included being inducted into the Ohio High School Basketball Coaches Association Hall of Fame in 2020. He earned the prestigious Ohio High School Boys Coaches Association Bob Arnzen Award, which goes to a coach who has devoted 20 consecutive years or more to the same school and for their loyalty and commitment to Ohio high school basketball (the late Arnzen is Ohio’s ninth all-time winningest boys basketball coach). In addition, Schwieterman was honored with the Ohio High School Athletic Association Sportsmanship, Ethics and Integrity Award in 2010.
He was the District 12 Basketball Coaches Association Director and State Representative for several years during his coaching career.
