Robert Schermerhorn (1943 – April 23, 2018) was an American college basketball coach. Schermerhorn came from South Bend, Indiana and played for church leagues but did not make varsity at South Bend Central High School. After high school, he joined the Marines and served in Vietnam, playing basketball in the jungle and improvising a court. He walked onto the basketball team at Orange Coast College in 1968 and seldom played, but impressed coach Herb Livesay with his knowledge of the game and Livesay set him up with basketball camps during the summer. Schermerhorn became head coach at Canyon High School in 1974 and coached for four seasons. He coached at Chaffey College until 1980, when it ceased its basketball program.
