McCallie has named David Conrady its new basketball coach.
Conrady, who is a former University of Tennessee at Chattanooga assistant and also coached previously at Chattanooga Christian School, returns to Chattanooga after two seasons coaching Prestonwood Christian Academy in Plano, Texas. He replaces John Shulman, who stepped away from the Blue Tornado program two months ago.
“McCallie is such a unique opportunity, and when it opened up I knew I definitely wanted to pursue it,” Conrady said. “The tradition of the school and what it stands for, striving for excellence, is something that makes this a very special place to work. To me, it’s very humbling to have a chance to be a part of it.”
Conrady will also serve as a mentor and advisor to McCallie’s younger students as chaplain and Bible teacher in the middle school.
“David is a proven leader on the basketball court, but just as importantly he is a good man of strong faith and character,” McCallie headmaster Lee Burns said. “He will help our boys grow and mature in ways that will not only improve their athletic skills, but will also prepare them to lead in their lives and communities as men of honor.”
