Jim Schaus is part of the 2025 Pizza Hut Shocker Sports Hall of Fame induction class. The class will be inducted on Sat., Jan. 18.
Steve Rainbolt remembers leaving his interview with Wichita State athletic director Jim Schaus and thinking "No way they give the track and field coach an office that nice."
Schaus hired him in August 2000 and Rainbolt did indeed end up in that corner office three years later after the renovation and expansion of Levitt Arena into Charles Koch Arena.
"It's the premier office, and I thought 'Surely they're going to put the basketball coach in there,'" Rainbolt said.
