I definitely would not eliminate any other schools or options until you get confirmation of acceptance. Like this thread has noted, there really is no such thing as "certainty" in the application process.

I am not sure what Emory's timeframe is to communicate the decision, but I suspect it would be early enough to allow your son to apply Regular Decision at other schools if his application is denied. If the other coaches press him about a decision, a fair answer would be that he has enough options that he has decided to wait until the Regular Decision deadline and will take his chances with that. And then hopefully if he gets accepted to Emory, he can let the coaches know then that he will not be applying.
