Successful Moon basketball coach steps down to spend time with family.

Adam Kaufman, who guided teams to two WPIAL titles and a PIAA title in 14 seasons, resigned as boys basketball coach at Moon a year after leading the Tigers to a state championship.

Kaufman, 40, and his wife, Katie, have four children between the ages of 5 (twins) and 9. He has seen his family a lot over the past few months, and wants to continue to do so.

Kaufman compiled a 226135 record in stops at Bishop Canevin, Montour and Moon. He guided Montour to two WPIAL titles before coming to Moon in 2014.

In six seasons at Moon, he went 83-62. The 2019 team won the PIAA Class 5A championship, defeating Philadelphia Catholic League power Archbishop Wood in the final. Kaufman was named the state Class 5A coach of the year and Post-Gazette coach of the year. The Tigers went 6-16 last season.
