Assistant coach Scott Sherman completed his 16th season with the women's gymnastics program, contributing to 11 Big Ten Conference championships, seven regional titles and six trips to the NCAA Super Six.
Sherman was the recipient of the 2010 NCAA Northeast Regional Coach of the Year honor and the 2008 National Assistant Coach of the Year, voted on by the nation's coaches each season. Sherman's primary responsibilities include coaching uneven bars as well as coordinating recruiting efforts and scheduling.
Sherman joined head coach Bev Plocki and the Wolverines in 1997 and helped Michigan win its first regional title in 15 seasons. Sherman's work with U-M's bars specialists has contributed to 23 of Michigan's 26 best individual season averages on bars, as well as five of Michigan's six best all-time team scores on the event. He has coached two national champions and 17 regional champions on bars, while a Michigan athlete has won the bars title in nine of 14 Big Ten Championships since Sherman's arrival.
In 2010, Michigan's strength on bars continued with Jordan Sexton winning the NCAA Southeast Regional uneven bars title, while Wolverine gymnasts captured 11 bars titles over the course of the season. In 1999, Sherman was chosen as the National Assistant Coach of the Year, becoming the first assistant coach at Michigan to earn that honor. This accolade followed Sherman's NCAA Central Region Assistant Coach of the Year award in 1997.
Prior to his arrival at Michigan, Sherman was an assistant coach at the University of Minnesota and a club gymnastics coach for the Olympic Gymnastics Academy and Twin City Twisters.
A native of Minneapolis, Minn., Sherman earned his B.S. in real estate and economics in 1986 from St. Cloud State University. He and his wife Shannon reside in Ann Arbor with their children.
