Kreiser tendered his resignation last week after coaching in Columbia's storied basketball program for nearly three decades, breaking out of the shadow of his dad, the late Elmer Kreiser, the former Crimson Tide boys coach and school administrator who helped mold Columbia into a basketball powerhouse.
