RENO, Nev. — Nevada women's basketball coach Kim Gervasoni announced her resignation today, citing undisclosed personal reasons.

Gervasoni compiled a record of 59-92 in five years coaching the Wolf Pack, one of only two to lead the team to at least 50 career victories.

She led the Wolf Pack to their first postseason bid in school history with a WNIT appearance in 2007. Her most recent team went 18-12, the most wins at Nevada since the 1999-2000 season.

Her late husband, Mike Gervasoni, was one of her assistant coaches until he was killed in a car accident in October 2004.

"I appreciate the support from the administration, support staff, my coaching staff, the players, my friends, family and the community," Gervasoni said in a statement released by the university. "I'm grateful for my experience here and I am excited about my future."

Nevada athletic director Cary Groth said a national search for a replacement would begin immediately.

"We're going to miss Kim. We understand how tough this decision was for her and we support her," Groth said.

"Kim has done a tremendous job with the Wolf Pack women's basketball program in her five years at Nevada. They made great strides on the court, and her student-athletes excelled in the classroom and the community. I want to thank Kim for everything she has done for the University of Nevada and wish her the best in the future."

Before coming to Nevada, Gervasoni was an assistant coach for three years at Arizona State. She coached for eight years at Solano Community College in California and was selected for the California Community College as both a player and a coach.
