Milton "Sharm" Scheuerman (May 16, 1934 – August 30, 2010) was an American college basketball player and coach for the University of Iowa.
Scheuerman was born in Moline, Illinois, and grew up in Rock Island, one of the Quad Cities.
There, he was started for some of the most successful teams in program history, winning two Big Ten Conference titles and advancing to the national Final Four in 1955 and 1956.
Nelson, also from Rock Island High School, left Iowa as the school's all-time leading scorer, before winning five NBA championships with the Boston Celtics and then retiring as the all-time wins leader among NBA coaches.
