Scott Schneider completed his second season as associate head coach and 13th season overall with the Robert Morris women's basketball team in 2022-23. He previously served as an assistant coach for seven seasons as well as a student assistant from 2009-11 and a graduate assistant from 2012-14.

"Coach Schneider has worked very hard for RMU women's basketball over a number of years," head coach Charlie Buscaglia said at the time of his promotion to associate head coach. "I believe in rewarding hard work and a loyal commitment to the program. This is a very exciting announcement for someone that has earned this moment and continues to work hard every day to serve our program."
 
In his seven seasons as a full-time assistant at Robert Morris, the Colonials have made five Northeast Conference (NEC) Championship Games, winning three titles in 2016, 2017, and 2019. RMU has gone 133-78 (.630) since 2014-15 and has notched 91 wins in league play. The Colonials also have won four consecutive NEC regular-season titles over that span, becoming the first school to rattle off four straight since Saint Francis U from 2001 to 2005.

As previously noted, Schneider previously served as a student assistant and graduate assistant on staff. In his prior position, he oversaw all the managers and assisted in various logistics of the program, while also helping with video and opponent scouting. Schneider also organized and helped operate the Sal Buscaglia Individual and Team Summer Basketball Camps.

Schneider was an assistant coach at Wheeling Jesuit University in 2011-12. While there, he was pivotal in upgrading the team’s scouting services, helping develop practice schedules, and providing on the court instruction.

Before coming to Robert Morris, Schneider played for Central Christian College of Kansas during his junior season. He averaged 12 points per game for the Tigers and was an NCCAA Academic All-American in 2009. Prior to that, Schneider played two seasons at Barton County (Kan.) Community College and was a member of the 2006-07 team that finished runner-up in Region VI and earned a No. 9 national ranking.

Schneider played high school basketball for Great Bend (Kan.) High School, winning back-to-back state championships in 2005 and 2006, the first championships in school history. He earned All-WAC First Team honors in consecutive seasons and was a Hutch News All-6A/5A First Team All-State selection after leading the Panthers to a 45-5 record over those two campaigns.

Schneider graduated Magna Cum Laude from Robert Morris in 2011 with a Bachelor of Science degree in business administration, then graduated with his Master of Science degree in organization leadership in 2014. He and his wife, Dee, recently had their first child in 2020, a son named Theodore.
