In the 2000-2001 season, he led the Emmanuel Saints to its first trip to the NCAA Final Four -- making him the first coach in Boston to make the basketball Final Four, in any category (men's or women's, Division I, II or III). Under Coach Yosinoff's direction, the team posted a school record 28-4 season, became GNAC regular season and tournament champions, NCAA Northeast/East Sectional Champions, NCAA Northeast/East Regional Champions, and NCAA Final Four Semi-Finalists. The Saints were also voted ECAC Division III Team of the Year. Coach Yosinoff's peers named him GNAC 2000-2001 Women's Basketball Coach of the Year.

This was the longest Division III regular season conference winning streak. During the 2006-2007 season, Andy coached the Saints to an NCAA Sweet Sixteen appearance with an overall record of 29-2 and an undefeated conference record of 12-0. The Saints defeated Salve Regina and Brandeis University in the NCAA Tournament and eventually fell to the 2007 National Champion, DePauw University. The Saints' 29 wins ranked Emmanuel as the top team in number of victories among all Division III programs that season.

During the 2011-12 campaign, Yosinoff led the Saints to the program's 14 GNAC title with a perfect 13-0 mark in the GNAC. Emmanuel would go on to advance to the NCAA Elite Eight round, capturing tournament victories over Hartwick College, Rhode Island College and King's College (Pa.) before falling to the #1 ranked team in the country, Amherst. For his guidance, Yosinoff was named the 2012 D3Hoops.com Division III Northeast Coach of the Year and was also honored by the Jewish Coaches Association as the 2012 recipient of the Red Auerbach Award presented to college basketball's Jewish Coach of the Year.
