Prior to Loyola University, Schilb was a postgraduate student at Brewster Academy in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire, during the 2002-2003 academic year.
A 6'7" (201 cm) guard (during his college days), Schilb played at Loyola University Chicago, with the Loyola Ramblers, from 2003 to 2007. In 2006, he became Loyola's first player since Alfredrick Hughes in 1985 to earn Associated Press All-American honors after averaging 19.1 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game. He graduated from Loyola as the school's fourth all-time leading scorer (1,879 points) and all-time leader in three-point field goals (204).[1]
After his junior season, Schilb became an early entry candidate for the 2006 NBA draft, but he withdrew his name before the deadline so he could return for his senior year.[2] Schilb went undrafted by any NBA teams after his senior year.

On June 23, 2013, he signed a three-year contract with the Serbian team Crvena zvezda.[7] On January 29, 2014, he officially parted ways with Crvena zvezda.[8] The next day, he returned to France and signed with Paris-Levallois.[9] On April 15, 2015, he parted ways with Paris.[10]
