    Jerry McFarland

    Director

    Prior to coming to Washington Adventist University, McFarland spent four years as the head boys basketball coach at Takoma Academy. During his time at Takoma Academy, he accomplished two 20-win seasons, three tournament championships, and two historic victories over national power Montrose Christian and Riverdale Baptist high schools. He has also spent time as an assistant on varsity and head JV coach at Coolidge, Riverdale Baptist, and Bishop Ireton while coaching AAU. His AAU career has allowed him to coach a number of current players overseas, as well as current NBA players Rodney McGruder and Mike Beasley. He began his AAU career with the grassroots program D.C. Assault and, most recently, with Team Loaded (VA). He feels both AAU programs as well as his high school experiences have prepared him well for all aspects of collegiate coaching.
