Santa Clara University men's basketball head coach Kerry Keating tapped former University of San Diego standout Sam Scholl to join his staff as an assistant coach on April 9, 2007. Scholl will round out Keating's coaching staff on the Mission Campus along with fellow assistant coaches Sam Scuilli and Lamont Smith.

Scholl, 29, spent the past seven seasons as an assistant coach at the University of San Diego, his alma mater, on the staff of former Torero head coach Brad Holland. At San Diego, Scholl worked closely with the guards, in addition to his roles with recruiting, scouting, academic support, and USD's Elite Camp. He also played an integral role in the recruitment of sixteen Torero players, including four first-team All-WCC performers, one WCC newcomer of the Year, and a pair of WCC All-Freshman Team players.

The Toreros' lone senior on the team's 20-9 squad from 1999-2000, Scholl played guard for San Diego for two seasons. Prior to USD, he played two seasons at Tacoma Community College in Tacoma, Washington.

A native of Gig Harbor, Washington, Scholl completed his undergraduate degree in Sociology at the University of San Diego in 2001.
