2013-14: Driscoll led the Ospreys to a 16-16 overall record including a 10-8 mark in ASUN play with both win totals equalling then program records. UNF qualified for their fifth consecutive conference tournament while also posting a regular season sweep over league champion and NCAA Tournament participant Mercer. Freshman Dallas Moore earned the program's first A-Sun Freshman of the Year honor, while senior teammate Travis Wallace garnered second-team All-Atlantic Sun accolades. The team topped the 100-point mark in a game for the first time in the Division I Era and also bettered the program's four-season win total mark to 60 victories. 2012-13: Marked the first set of Driscoll recruits to complete their careers. The group helped guide the Ospreys to a 13-19 overall record (8-10 ASUN) and fourth consecutive appearance in the ASUN Conference tournament. In addition, UNF compiled the most victories (57) in a four-year span in program history sending the senior class out as the winningest Osprey basketball group ever, before the group in 2013-14 topped the mark. Senior Parker Smith collected the program's first-ever All-Atlantic Sun Conference first-team honor while Beau Beech earned inclusion on the All-Freshman list. Smith and fellow senior Will Wilson both finished the season ranked among the Nation's Top 20 in several statistical categories. 2011-12: Driscoll led the Ospreys to unprecedented heights as UNF finished with a then program record 16 victories including a 10-8 mark in ASUN play. North Florida boasted a record high 11 home victories, highlighted by a perfect 5-0 mark against non-conference foes along with a program best six league home wins. UNF collected its first ever regular season sweep of rival Jacksonville and Lipscomb while also tallying sweeps of ASUN foes FGCU and Kennesaw State. The Ospreys earned their best finish in league play tying for fourth. Parker Smith named the All-ASUN (2nd team) marking just the third postseason honor for UNF in its Division I history. 2010-11: Driscoll followed up his solid debut campaign at the helm of the Ospreys with even more historic success in his second season including an appearance in the 2011 ASUN Conference Tournament championship game. UNF’s run to the title contest was highlighted by victories over cross-town rival Jacksonville and an upset of second-seed ETSU.Ospreys finished in sixth place in the ASUN (ahead of their preseason picks of 7th-9th) and posted a 15-19 overall record including a 10-10 mark in conference play. The 10 ASUN wins marked a then program best and the 15 overall victories were the most in North Florida’s Division I history and matched the then single season program high. The Ospreys captured the title at the Cancun Challenge (Mayan Division) marking a second consecutive in-season tournament crown while also matching a program record with a five-game win streak late in the season. Against A-Sun foes, Driscoll guided his 2010-11 group to more road wins (6) than the previous five seasons combined, while collecting program first victories at Mercer and Campbell. Andy Diaz and Jerron Granberry were both named to the ASUN All-Tournament team, marking another first for the UNF program. 2009-10: Picked to finish last in the ASUN Conference's preseason polls in his inaugural season, Driscoll made an immediate impact leading UNF to a 13-18 overall record (8-12 in Atlantic Sun), a seventh-place finish and an ASUN Tournament appearance in the program's first year of eligibility for the event. In addition, Driscoll led the Ospreys to a five-win improvement ending the year just two victories shy of the program record and posted the best debut season ever by a UNF men's basketball coach. UNF also captured the tournament title at the Southern Mississippi Christmas Classic, becoming only the second ASUN team in league history to win a three-game, regular-season tournament.
PRIOR TO UNF
Driscoll came to UNF after spending six seasons as the top assistant at Baylor University. Along with BU head coach Scott Drew, Driscoll helped transform the Bears into Big XII contenders, leading them to the 2008-09 NIT finals and the 2007-08 NCAA Tournament. The NCAA Tournament appearance in 2007-08 was Baylor’s first since 1988. He spent seven weeks on Drew’s staff at Valparaiso before making the move to Baylor. Prior to his brief stop at Valparaiso, Driscoll served as an assistant at Clemson from 1998 to 2003 under Larry Shyatt, former University of Wyoming head coach and University of Florida assistant. He also worked as an assistant during Shyatt’s first tenure at Wyoming for the 1997-98 season. Driscoll helped guide both Clemson and Wyoming to berths in the NIT, before assisting with the rebuild of the Baylor program. His basketball coaching experience began in 1988 when he served as the head coach of his high school alma mater at Pittsburgh’s Northgate High School. He served in that role from 1988-90 before stops at Butler (Pa.) County Community College (1990-91) and Seneca Valley High School (1991-93), where he served as an assistant coach at both schools. From 1993-97 Driscoll served as the head coach at LaRoche College in Pittsburgh. Driscoll’s experience also includes a stint as a volunteer assistant coach at Slippery Rock.

So ... just what is the
? e f i L P O O #SW
Just over 10 years into its journey as a Division I program, UNF Athletics has built a unique culture in the #SWOOPLife. So just exactly what is the #SWOOPLife? It’s winning championships and competing on the biggest stage in the NCAA, upholding the strong academic reputation of the University with a focus on graduation and making an impact in the Jacksonville community. #SWOOPLife is what makes the rise of the Ospreys so special. It’s not just one sport, one athlete or one day of service. It’s a commitment across the board from every coach and student-athlete to strive each day to win in the community, the classroom and on the playing field. Over the past three years, UNF has seen eight different programs collect conference championships – including men's basketball, men's and women's tennis, men's and women's golf, men's and women's cross country and men's soccer. The team wins are special, but UNF also has gained several firsts thanks to significant individual achievements. Jack Findel-Hawkins became the first Division I All-America honoree in men’s tennis by advancing to the quarterfinals of the national championships in the Spring of 2017.
@UNFOspreys
Eden Meyer of the women’s track and field team showed her talent on the national stage, qualifying for the national championship in the 10,000 meters where she finished 15th to earn second team AllAmerica honors in 2017. Travis Trace became the first Osprey to advance to the NCAA Men’s Golf Championships as an individual. Dallas Moore completed his career on the men’s basketball team by scoring more points than anyone else ever in Florida history with more than 2,400. These wins and performances don’t overshadow the tremendous success and achievement off the field. All 19 athletic teams at UNF have a 3.0 grade point average or higher for the second straight year. Topping that, the entire department GPA is a 3.37, the highest in program history. Add that to the passion for giving back to the community and serving as role models throughout Jacksonville to really understand the #SWOOPLife. Whether it’s reading to an elementary school class, taking a few minutes after a game or practice to sign autographs, or taking the time out to make an area of our great city better, the Ospreys are always soaring.

North Florida vs. Jacksonville: The Rivalry Continues The River City Rumble, founded in fall 2005, is a season-long series between Jacksonville's two Division I institutions – University of North Florida and Jacksonville University. It was officially named and announced on Jan. 23, 2006, at a press conference on the North Florida campus. The University of North Florida and Jacksonville University battle annually for the "Old Wooden Barrel," which is awarded to the school with the most victories over the other during a school year. The "Old Wooden Barrel" will be housed in the winning school's athletic department until the conclusion of the final event of the following year.
|| How The River City Rumble Works || North Florida and Jacksonville both field teams in 14 sports (men's and women's soccer, volleyball, men's and women's cross country, men's and women's basketball, baseball, softball, sand volleyball, women's indoor/outdoor track and men's and women's golf). Each time the Ospreys and Dolphins face each other, the game will count toward the River City Rumble standings. The exception is individual sports (i.e. cross country, track and golf), where the team that finishes higher at the ASUN Conference Championship will earn one win for its school. The two teams annually square off against each other 22 times. The school with the most wins receives the "Old Wooden Barrel" at the end of the year. Any tie in the standings keeps the trophy at the previous year's winner. JU regained the Barrel in 2017-18 marking just the second Dolphin win in the past seven years.
