Shawnee State women's basketball head coach Jeff Nickel, the author to five Mid-South Conference Championships and four Mid-South Conference Regular Season Championships in his eight years at the helm, resigned Tuesday afternoon.
Nickel, who finished with a career record of 214-60 in his eight seasons at Shawnee State, not only maintained the success of his predecessor, Robin Hagen-Smith, but built upon it, winning five Mid-South Conference Tournament Championships in a six-season span -- the first coach in conference history on the women's side to do so -- from the 2014-15 to 2019-20 campaigns. The South Shore, Ky. native went 175-40 during that outstanding six-season run, and made the Mid-South Conference Tournament Championship Game in every season to boot.
