If you have a coach who understands spacing, angles, the importance of the outside shooter, the importance of defending the outside shooter (the number of 3s Ryle allows is staggering), the importance of developing a great JV program (not repeatedly telling the JV players that wins and losses don't matter), and the importance of doing everything possible to instill confidence in your top seven instead of playing musical chairs with that rotation starting early in the season, you'll have a coach who wins games. McFarland is one of the only coaches I have ever known who finds ways to kill the momentum of a run and loses games that shouldn't have been lost. Say all you want about the talent that walks the halls at Ryle, but if you have a hard look at the girls basketball program, the football program, and the baseball program, you have to wonder what is going on with the boys basketball program.
