It didn’t take long for the fallout from Saint Francis’ move to Division III to begin.

Rob Krimmel, who coached the Red Flash men’s basketball team for the past 13 seasons, resigned Thursday.

Krimmel posted a record of 170-228 and, on March 11, he led the Red Flash to their first Northeast Conference championship and NCAA berth in 34 years.

However, on Tuesday — a week after Saint Francis played in a First Four game, losing 70-68 in the closing seconds to Alabama State — the school announced it was transitioning to Division III, effective in 2026.

Krimmel told the Mirror he is not moving to another coaching position at this time.

SFU is also searching for a women’s basketball coach after Keila Whittington resigned after six seasons last week.

The Mirror will have more details in Friday’s print edition.
