Guest: Matt Driscoll, North Florida Head Coach
In this week's coaching conversation, North Florida head coach Matthew Driscoll joins the Basketball Podcast to share insights on embracing change and dots on the map.
Coach Driscoll is the all-time winningest coach in ASUN history and has won over 250 games at North Florida. He is a three-time ASUN Coach of the Year (2014-15, 2015-16, 2019-20) and was the NABC District 3 Coach of the Year in 2014-15.
Driscoll has led his Osprey teams to multiple ASUN regular season titles (2015, 2016, 2020), an ASUN tournament championship (2015), and two national postseason appearances (2015 NCAA, 2016 NIT).
Discroll boasts an impressive record, having mentored 13 of UNF's 18 1,000-point scorers (including transfers) while leading his teams to hold nearly every program record. His strategic approach resulted in a Top 20 final ranking in the CollegeInsider.com Mid-Major poll (2014-15) and twice led NCAA Div. 1 in 3-pointers made per game (2016, 2020). He's also known for guiding UNF to victories over powerhouse programs like Purdue and Illinois.
Before coming to UNF, Driscoll spent twelve years as an assistant at Baylor University, Valparaiso University, Clemson University, and the University of Wyoming.
