Collegiate boys basketball coach Mitch Fiegel was relieved of his coaching and athletic director duties on Friday night, a source at the school confirmed to The Eagle.

When contacted Friday evening, Fiegel said he did not want to comment at this time. A phone call to Chris Ashbrook, head of the Collegiate Upper School, was not immediately returned.

Fiegel coached at Collegiate for the past 28 seasons, compiling a 478-186 record and winning six state championships — tied for the third-most in Kansas history. He was twice chosen the The Eagle’s All-State coach, in 2007 and 2016. Counting his one season at Quivira Heights, Fiegel has won a total of 493 games.
