Klamath Falls Gems News Release
KLAMATH FALLS, OR - The Klamath Falls Gems today announced the resignation of Head Coach Brian Embery, effective immediately. Embery will return to his Auburn, Washington home to attend to family and personal issues that demand his attention. "We are sorry to see Coach Embery leave Klamath Falls, but we tell all our people that family always comes first," Gems General Manager Chuck Heeman said. "It's no different for Coach or anyone else - you only get one family, and when situations call for us to be with our families, we need to be there."
Embery is also the owner of Evergreen State Sports, a baseball training center based in Sumner, WA, and will return home to deal with business matters with that entity. In addition, Embery's son, Brian, suffered a broken left arm during a game on June 10, leading to surgery and an extensive rehabilitation schedule that he will undergo at his Washington home.
Gems Assistant Coach John Welker will assume Embery's duties for the remainder of the season while a permanent replacement is found.
