Meyer resigns after nine seasons as head coach of QND boys basketball program

QUINCY — Another successful Quincy Notre Dame athletic program is looking for a new leader.

Kevin Meyer submitted his resignation Friday, stepping away from the QND boys basketball program after nine seasons at the helm — a span in which his teams won 20 or more games five times and he became the second-winningest coach in program history.

QND athletic director Bill Connell informed the players of Meyer’s decision Friday afternoon.

An open search for Meyer’s replacement will begin immediately. Last month, QND replaced Courtney Kvitle as the girls volleyball coach, hiring Danielle White as her successor. Kvitle resigned in December after six seasons at the helm in which her teams won four regional titles and two sectional crowns.

The boys basketball team won back-to-back regional titles in 2022 and ’23, but has won only one sectional title in the last 20 years. Meyer led the Raiders to a Class 2A sectional title in 2016.

A 1989 graduate of QND who played on a sectional championship team his senior season, Meyer spent one season as the head girls basketball coach at his alma mater, guiding the Raiders to a 17-9 season in 2014-15. That August, Tom Shields resigned after three months as the boys basketball coach and without ever coaching a game, and Meyer agreed to take over the program.

Over the next nine seasons, he compiled a 176-80 record with five regional championships and one sectional title. His teams won 20 or more games five times. The Raiders went 17-11 last winter.

Meyer’s 176 victories are the second most of any coach in program history, trailing only Scott Douglas, who compiled a 360-138 record over 17 seasons.
