Greg David named Bishop McLaughlin boys hoops coach

Bishop McLaughlin has a new boys basketball coach and, perhaps, some stability in the program.

Greg David, previously coach at Notre Dame Catholic School in Spring Hill, has been hired to lead the Hurricanes, becoming the team's third coach since the start of the calendar year.

Veteran Greg O'Connell abruptly walked off the job in January after a highly publicized encounter with some disgruntled parents. New York Mets baseball scout and retired coach Les Parker replaced him on an interim basis.

"Coach David is committed to growing our program and building strong young men of faith through their experiences on and off the basketball court," Bishop McLaughlin athletic director Eddie Kenny said in a school release.

David led Notre Dame, a program not affiliated with the Florida High School Athletic Association, to first place in its division last season. A former semi-pro player in Puerto Rico, he also coached the boys' youth basketball program at the Children's Aid Society in New York before arriving in Florida.

According to the school release, David's collegiate career "included time at the well-respected Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City where he also earned his degree."
