Kevin Emerick resigns as Jefferson basketball coach

Kevin Emerick has resigned as women's basketball coach at Jefferson College, leaving behind an amazing record to go into a private business venture.

Under Emerick, Jefferson's teams were 129-11 over four seasons. During that stretch, his teams never lost a region game, a conference game or even a game in their home gym in Hillsboro. Every loss came at neutral sites.

Emerick's teams were 8-6 at the national NJCAA tournament, and they finished second in the nation the past two seasons.

Southeast fans might remember Emerick as an assistant coach for one season under B.J. Smith. That season, Southeast reached the NCAA women's tournament and set a school record for most wins in the program's history. Emerick left shortly before an NCAA investigation into multiple violations in the program.

Jefferson has not announced Emerick's replacement.
