Steve Merfeld is a former assistant basketball coach at Bradley University and the former head men's basketball coach at Hampton University and the University of Evansville. After leading the Hampton Pirates to back-to-back NCAA tournaments, including a first-round upset of second-seeded Iowa State in 2001, Merfeld was hired as the head coach at Evansville, where he coached until the 2007 season. The shot of Hampton forward David Johnson lifting a jubilant Merfeld in the air after the Pirates' 2001 upset remains a memorable event in NCAA history. In December 2009, Merfeld stepped down as an assistant coach at Bradley University. Merfeld joined Greg McDermott's staff at Creighton University prior to the 2010-11 season.
