Future hall of famer basketball coach Michael Parish is leaving as Edison’s boys basketball coach after 20 seasons. Parish guided the Eagles to the Class 5A state title game in 2009. This past season, he directed Edison to a 20-8 record and the 5A state quarterfinals, where the Eagles lost to eventual champion Del City. He was named Green Country Conference coach of the year. Parish, the Eagles’ all-time coaching wins leader with 334, guided Edison to nine state tournament berths. The first in 2007 ended an 18-year state tournament drought.
Parish and Edison mutually agreed to part ways.
