David Ferrell Head Coach David Ferrell begins his second season as the head coach at U of O. In year one, Ferrell improved the team’s conference win total by two from the previous season, as well as posting more overall wins. Ferrell’s uptempo style proved to among the most potent in the American South-

west Conference as it averaged 78 points per game. With his fast-paced philosophy and a strong recruit-ing class, the program demonstrated quick success, winningthreeofitsfirstfivegames.Theprogramalsohad a signature win over Concordia University Texas late in the season to stay in playoff contention. A number of players ranked among the top offensive players in the conference. Guard Josh Ferrell was named ASC Freshman of the Year and received a spot on the All-Freshman Team. Guard Ricky Allen led the conference in assists and earned national ac-colades when he made the D3Hoops.com Team of the Week. With a solid foundation in place, Ferrell’s program aims for even more success in year two with three starters returning. Prior to Ozarks, Ferrell spent 21 years as the head boy’s basketball coach at West Fork High School 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 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 championshipgame.Overhisfinalthreeseasons,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 during his High School tenure. During his career at WFHS, his teams won 27 differ-ent tournaments over 21 years. He was the Confer-ence Coach of the Year eight times and was named the Northwest Arkansas Media Small Schools Coach of the Year in 2011. He founded the popular Arkansas Athletes Outreach Top-25 basketball camp in 1995. Ferrell received his bachelor’s degree and mas-ter’s degree in Physical Education from University of Arkansas. Ferrell and his wife, Kelly, are the parents of three children, Josh, Jassa and Jordyn.

Chris Goodman Assistant Coach ChrisGoodmanentershisfirstseason as the assistant men’s basketball coach. Goodman, a former standout guard and assis-tant basketball coach at NCAA Division III Hendrix College, was among the top guards in the Southern Athletic Association Conference, during his colle-giate career.

Goodman, a native of Fort Worth, Texas, hit 179 career three-pointers from 2008-12 playing the point guard and shooting guard positions for Hendrix. Goodman, who served as a team captain his senior season, hit a season-best 65 three-pointers his junior year. After his playing career, Goodman served as a volunteer assistant at Keller Central High School dur-ing the 2012 season. He then went to Hendrix where he was a volunteer assistant with the men’s program during the 2013-2014 season. Goodman received his bachelor’s degree in kine-siology from Hendrix in 2012. He and his wife, Amber, were married in 2013.


MORE IMPROVEMENT EXPECTED IN YEAR TWO UNDER FERRELL U of O head men’s basketball coach David Ferrell took positive steps in year one, winning more games overall and in conference play than the previous season, and now looks for even more improvement in year two. The Eagles improved their conference win to-tal by two from 2013-2014. Additionally, the Eagles wonmoreoverallgames,finishing8-17.Theveterancoach, however, understands much more still has to be done in order for the Eagles to be a playoff contender. “Last year we got to the point where we were competitive every night,” said Ferrell. “We were close late in some conference games and could have won a few more. Last year, everybody probably overlooked us a little bit. It is a tough league. The league is really talented and really well coached. There is not a lot of separation among the teams.” Even though there is an improved mindset, the Eagles will still need to overcome a lack of experi-ence. “We are really young,” said Ferrell. “We only have afewupperclassmen.Therewillbefourorfivefresh-men that will have to play for us. It is a talented fresh-men class. Overall, we are probably a little deeper than we were last year. Our whole team attitude is great. We have guys that will come to work hard every day.” Returning starters include senior forward Ted Beard IV, sophomore guard Josh Ferrell and senior forward Kelby Robinson. Beard IV was second on the team in scoring (12.8), while hitting 33 percent of his three-point at-tempts. Beard IV plays much bigger than his 6-foot-3frame.Hefinishedseventhintheconferenceinrebounding (7.8) and posted eight double-doubles. “Ted is just a good all-around player,” said Fer-rell. “He plays well wherever we put him. He is a very versatile player.” Josh Ferrell was named the American Southwest Conference Freshman of the Year and earned a spot on the All-Freshman Team after averaging 11.8 points per game. He hit 48-of-151 (31%) of his three-point shots. “Josh can shoot it from deep,” he said. “He was unknown last year, but that won’t be the case this season. It will be harder for him to get an open look. He has his work cut out for him.” The 6-foot-5 Robinson provides Ozarks with a pres-ence inside. Robinson averaged 8.8 points and 5.0 rebounds per game.

“Kelby is an undersized post player, but is real crafty around the basket,” said Ferrell. “He can pro-duce. He has to have a big year for us.” Ferrell’s troops will again play an up-tempo brand of basketball. Ozarks launched 524 three-point shots and averaged 78 points per game, fourth-highest in the league. The Eagles will push the ball in hopes of offsetting the team’s lack of size. “We want to play fast, but still be organized and take a good shot,” he said. “We want to press a lot and trap a lot. We don’t have a lot of size. I’m not sure we have a true post player. Those guys are mainly power forward type players. Hopefully, we can offset our lack of size with an extra shooter in the game. That may give us a mismatch.” Providing depth inside the paint will be junior Adam Geller and sophomore Ricky Scott. Roaming the perimeter will be a number of players including sophomores Josh Berard and Cade Niswonger, as well as freshmen Ben Grice and Jace Richardson. “Adam and Ricky are battling to backup Kelby,” said Ferrell. “Josh is a player that we can put any-where. He will play a major role this season. At the point guard position, we have competition among Cade, Ben and Jace.”
