Coaching Staff David Ferrell Head Coach David Ferrell enters his first season as the Head Men’s Basketball at Ozarks.

Ferrell, who was named the head coach in June of 2013, spent the last 21 years as the head boy’s basketball coach at West Fork High School (Ark.) where he posted a 458-176 (.733) record and made eight trips to the state tournament.

He compiled a 510-202 (.716) career record in 24 years as a head coach at Shiloh Christian, Lincoln, Gravette and West Fork. Ferrell, who never had a losing season, won six conference championships and two regional championships at WFHS. He led the 2010-2011 Tigers to its best season in school history with a 34-3 record and an appearance in the state championship game. In his final three seasons at WFHS, Ferrell owned the school’s best three-year run with an 87-18 mark. Ferrell was voted the head coach of the Arkansas High Coaches Association (AHSCA) All-Star Game in 1994 and 2011.

Ferrell, who has worked alongside Gus Malzahn, Mike Anderson and Jimmy Dykes during his coaching career, served as the Vice-President of the Arkansas High School Basketball Coaches Association prior to his position Ozarks.

“I am extremely excited about this opportunity,” he Ferrell. “It is any coach’s dream to coach at the college level. I just knew it was the right time for me. And, it is icing on the cake to be able to coach my son for four more years and be with my daughter, who is the assistant women’s coach.”

Ferrell’s on-the-court philosophy includes playing a fast-paced offensive style as well as taking threepoint shots in any offensive set.

“I prefer to play a fast-paced game and shoot a high percentage from the three-point line,” he said. “I like to press and play fast on defense, too.

It is a fun system to play in and the one key to it is effort.”

During his career at WFHS, his teams won 27 different tournaments over 21 years. Ferrell produced 15 All-State players and 10 college players during his tenure. He was the Conference Coach of the Year eight times and was named the Northwest

2

Arkansas Media Small Schools Coach of the Year in 2011. In 1995, he founded the popular Arkansas Athletes Outreach Top-25 basketball camp. Ferrell was also the athletics director the past 12 years at WFHS. “I am sold on the quality education the University of the Ozarks offers,” he said. “I am thankful the professors are so supportive. The student-teacher ratio is a great benefit also.”

Ferrell received his bachelor’s degree and master’s degree in Physical Education from University of Arkansas.

Ferrell and his wife, Kelly, are the parents of three children. Josh will be a freshman guard for the Eagles, daughter Jassa is a student at the University of Central Arkansas and daughter Jordyn is the assistant women’s basketball coach.

Dillon Buchanan Assistant Coach Dillon Buchanan begins his first year as the assistant coach.

Buchanan, a native of West Fork, Ark., was a volunteer assistant coach during the 20122013 season at West Fork High School where he helped the Tigers to a 27-8 record. He was a head coach at the Arkansas Athletes Outreach top-25 camp and has worked numerous summer camps at WFHS.

2013-2014 Outlook A bit of uncertainty surrounds the men’s basketball team entering the 2013-2014 season, but that won’t change how new head coach David Ferrell leads his program.

With the loss of four starters, including two AllConference players, a season of change awaits the Eagles. Ferrell, who won 458 games at West Fork High School, will do what he has always done: preach the importance of taking strides daily.

“I know it is cliché, but we want to take it one day at a time,” said Ferrell. “We talk to them constantly about trying to make progress each day.

We just try to get better every day, and my experience is that if you do that, you can be pretty good before it is over. We only want to focus on the next opponent.”

Key returners include 6-foot senior guard Andrew Cummings, 6-foot-3 junior forward Joshua Clark, 6-foot-4 sophomore forward Kristopher McCrary and 6-foot-6 sophomore forward Adam Geller. Added to the mix are a number of freshman as well as senior transfer Ricky Allen and 6-foot-3 sophomore forward Ted Beard IV. Allen played at Southern Arkansas University last season, while Beard IV is back after playing at Ozarks in 20072008.

Cummings is the top scorer returning with a 11.6 points per game average. Cummings, who made the conference All-Defensive Team a year ago, led the team in steals (1.7) in 22 starts. Clark averaged 6.5 points and 2.5 rebounds per game, while McCrary averaged 2.5 points per game and nearly three rebounds per contest. Geller has made progress in year two and is expected to play a much bigger role this season. Beard IV averaged over ten points a game in 2007-2008. Allen could have the biggest impact of any player on the team, according to Ferrell.

“If Ricky has a good year, we could have a good year,” said Ferrell. “If you have a point guard that can handle it and someone that can score, you should be able to find a way to stay in games.

We have six or seven freshman that could get significant playing time, too.”

The Eagles will likely be among the smallest teams in the American Southwest Conference. No player is taller than 6-foot-6.

“Inside play is a big question mark,” he said. “It is yet to be determined how productive our inside game will be.”

Ozarks was picked to finish last in the ASC preseason poll, but Ferrell is using it as motivation. A

preseason poll was hung in each player’s locker as a reminder of others’ expectations. Ferrell believes this type of expectation presents a unique opportunity.

“We remind them daily about the preseason poll,” he said. “We try to tell them that the preseason has no bearing on what reality is. I’ve told our guys we have a unique opportunity to do something special.”

Ferrell inherits a guard-oriented team, and anticipates taking full advantage of it.

He hopes his team will play as fast on Andrew Cummings defense as it does on offense.

“We want to push the ball the whole game,” he said. “One of our strengths is we are deep at guard. We will shoot a lot of three-pointers. But everything we do is built out of a trap. We like to pressure the ball and make other teams uncomfortable. Hopefully, we will play as fast on defense as we will on offense. I like to play with reckless abandonees on defense.”

The key to finding success this season, according to Ferrell, is keeping his players mentally tough through the season’s entirety.

“We need to be mentally tough enough to improve and then stay with that fight for the entire year,” he said. “I want to know how we handle success and failure.”

Ferrell feels his team has made positive adjustments, but a new culture always brings new challenges.

“It is hard to change the culture,” he said. “The guys have some built in excuses that don’t need to be there. We are chipping away at it. But we have some guys that are buying into it.”

The roster of American Southwest Conference members includes Concordia University Texas, East Texas Baptist University, Hardin-Simmons University, Howard Payne University, LeTourneau University, Louisiana College, University of Mary Hardin-Baylor, Mississippi College, University of the Ozarks, Sul Ross State University, University of Texas at Dallas and University of Texas at Tyler.

University of the Ozarks UNIVERSITY OF THE OZARKS has approached education with an unyielding search for truth.

That search led our founders to establish the first co-educational college west of the Mississippi. It set the stage for the first Arkansas woman to receive a college degree. And because truth often defies convention, ours was the first historically white college in the state to admit AfricanAmericans.

Every day, our history inspires Ozarks students to discover their own individual truths.
