The Buccaneers finished the 2021-22 season with a 17-15 overall record and an 9-10 mark in Region XIV. Blinn qualified for the Region XIV Tournament and eliminated Tyler Junior College in the opening round before ending its season in the quarterfinals.

In 32 years as a junior college head coach, Schumacher has compiled a career record of 611-373, including a 185-125 record at Blinn. He is ranked 13th all-time in wins among active men’s basketball coaches across 439 NJCAA programs. He has led three different junior college programs to conference championships and top-10 national rankings in the NJCAA polls. In five of the last seven seasons, Schumacher has led the Buccaneers to 20 or more wins. He has coached collegiate basketball for 36 years and is in his 14th year as an athletic director. 

Twenty-eight of 32 years have been spent as a head basketball coach in the Region XIV Conference. Schumacher previously coached league rivals Paris Junior College and Kilgore College, and is the only coach in TEAC history to lead two different programs to a conference championship. Prior to Blinn, Schumacher was the athletic director and head basketball coach at North Dakota State College of Science, leading the Wildcats to a national tournament bid and three conference championships. 

Schumacher has coached 12 NJCAA All-Americans. More than 85 of his players have signed Division I scholarships and more than 37 have gone on to play professionally. He has had the privilege to coach an SEC player of the year, a Big 12 Tournament MVP, a Big Sky Tournament MVP, and an NCAA slam dunk champion.

During his time with the association, he served as chair for the NJCAA Basketball Coaches Hall of Fame selection committee. As the president, he began the NJCAA Basketball Coaches All-Star Game, which is now played during the prestigious basketball coaching clinic held annually in Las Vegas. In recognition of his work, the Scott Schumacher Sportsmanship Award is given annually to an all-star participant. He currently serves on the Board of Directors for the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches.
