UNF Holds Press Conference on Matthew Driscoll's Resignation as Men's Basketball Coach

The University of North Florida announced on Thursday that Matthew Driscoll resigned as men's basketball coach to join Kansas State as associate head coach.
Driscoll's resignation follows his son Chase accepting a director position with Kansas State, and Driscoll cited a purposeful decision after a deliberate leadership evaluation.
Driscoll has been at the helm of UNF since 2009, setting the record for the most wins by any coach in ASUN history with 248 victories, earning three Coach of the Year honors, and leading the team to its inaugural NCAA Tournament appearance in 2015.
Under Driscoll, the team earned four wins against Power 4 schools—including historic 2024-25 victories over South Carolina and Georgia Tech—and consistently ranked among national leaders in 3-point shooting.
Bobby Kennen, who has served as Driscoll's longtime top assistant since 2012, has been named interim head coach for the 2025-26 season as UNF embarks on a nationwide search to find a permanent replacement.
