prepping at Boone County, was an assistant at Dixie Heights the past three
seasons.

He becomes the fourth head coach in the 21-year history of
Ryle and replaces Alan Mullins, who resigned after this past season.
“David is a very impressive young man (who) has been
successful as a player and coach,” Ryle athletic director Jim Demler wrote in a
press release. “We feel like he is the perfect fit for our basketball program
and school.
“He will establish a great relationship with our players,
staff, and the entire Ryle community.”
McFarland was a four-year starter at NKU from 2005-09 and
won the Thomas J. Kearns Career Achievement Award in 2009.
The award is given annually to NKU athletes who display
academic excellence, athletic ability, character and leadership.
His father, Donnie, was a longtime head coach at both Simon
Kenton and Dixie Heights and has been an assistant for several seasons at NKU.
