The Phoenix boasted at least two players on All-CAA teams in each of Schrage's three seasons as head coach.

He graduated from Indiana in 1998 with a degree in kinesiology and served as a men's basketball student assistant for four seasons under Bobby Knight. After graduating, Schrage spent the 1998-99 season as director of basketball operations at Ole Miss before being hired by Krzyzewski at Duke.

With the Blue Devils for nine seasons beginning with the 1999-2000 campaign, Schrage was the academic and recruiting coordinator for three years and spent the next six director of basketball operations, assisting with all aspects of the program's administration that included scouting, scheduling, camp operations and planning.
