CSI’s Edwards follows Whiting to BYU
The longtime Golden Eagle assistant will join the BYU women’s basketball program
TWIN FALLS, Idaho (KMVT/KSVT) — Longtime College of Southern Idaho (CSI) assistant women’s basketball coach Joshua Edwards is moving on to a future Big 12 school.
Edwards, who spent eight years at CSI, will join former Burley head coach Amber Whiting’s staff at BYU in a digital analytics/player development role.
Amber’s daughter Amari, who is committed to BYU, has played numerous scrimmages at CSI in recent years, helping form a connection between Edwards and the Whiting’s.
“When Amber first got the job I looked to my wife and said, ’Hey, I have a gut feeling that she might reach out to me, just knowing Amber prior to this year,’ when she hit me up, it was a no brainer,” Edwards said.
While excited to head to a school entering the Big 12 in the 2023-2024 season, Edwards is thankful for his time in Twin Falls.
“This isn’t the last time you will see me in black and gold, hopefully one day I get to come back here and continue to coach, this is home for me, so I’ll always have my hand here in Twin Falls to some degree,” Edwards said.
