Playing in spacious College Park, Lemonis was also named to the 1993 All-Southern Conference Tournament Team and ranked among the career leaders in Citadel history for home runs (23), RBI (152) and slugging percentage (.538) when he graduated. He spent 12 years as an assistant to Fred Jordan at The Citadel and then joined his best friend, Dan McDonnell, for eight years at the University of Louisville where in 2013 Lemonis was named the nation's top assistant baseball coach and twice helped the Cardinals reach the World Series.
