Dont most head coaches start as assitants. Parker is the head coach not a dictator and has done a good job with the program no one is argueing that, but he has/had great assistants as well, Edwards, Austin, Richardson, Carcuff, Searcy, C. Parker, and Frost(HC now) thats why its called a coaching staff. Beleive they where voted assistant staff of the year in 5A. Great head coaches surround themselves with great assistants if they want to build a program and they trust their assistants to coach. Seen Cascade play and Parker lets his guys coach.
