Elyria High School Varsity Boys Basketball Head Coach Larrick Resigns

After 27 years of coaching at Elyria High School, including the past 18 seasons as head coach of the varsity boys basketball program, Coach Brett Larrick has announced his decision to step down from his coaching position.

“After 18 years of leading this program (21 years total on the boys side) and 27 years coaching at Elyria High, I have decided to step down,” said Coach Larrick. “I want to thank my staff that has worked with me over the years and helped us to be so successful. Most importantly, I want to thank all the players for the memories and for allowing me to be a part of your basketball journey and life. This is a tough decision for me, but one that makes sense for my family and obligations we have moving forward.”

Reflecting on his career, Coach Larrick said, “My time at Elyria has been a dream. It was what I have always wanted to do. I have been so honored to lead this program and so grateful for all the players and the memories they helped create.”

During his tenure, Coach Larrick helped build a tradition of excellence within the Elyria basketball program. Thanks, Coach, for your years of dedication, leadership and commitment to the student-athletes of Elyria!
