This week on the Coaching U Podcast, Coach Brendan Suhr is joined by Matthew Driscoll, head coach of the North Florida Ospreys, fresh off historic victories over South Carolina and Georgia Tech.

In his 16th year at the helm at UNF, Driscoll shares the principles and philosophies that have made his program a consistent contender and one of the most exciting teams to watch in college basketball.

Driscoll provides incredible insights into his offensive philosophy, emphasizing pace, spacing, and decision-making to create high-quality shot opportunities. He discusses how North Florida has become synonymous with three-point shooting while maintaining a balanced attack that prioritizes shot selection and efficiency at the rim.

He also discusses the "good, better, best" shot philosophy that guides his team, how his team runs secondary break actions and maximizes transition opportunities, his use of a "tandem point zone defense" - a strategy developed alongside Scott Drew at Baylor, which continues to frustrate opponents, and the importance of relationships and adaptability in building a sustainable program.

Driscoll also dives into the mental side of coaching, offering advice on how to handle pressure, adversity, and the hidden opponent of expectations. He emphasizes the value of transformational coaching over transactional approaches and highlights the critical role of authentic leadership in fostering player development.

This week Coach Brendan Suhr revisits a conversation with the recently retired national champion head coach Tony Bennett.

Coach Bennett gives you a great lesson on how to face adversity - own it, grow from it and be better because of it. He relives his Virginia team's historic loss to UMBC in the first round of the 2018 NCAA Tournament as they became the first #1 seed to lose to a #16 seed. He then explains how he was very intentional about how he used the experience to prepare his team for the future. The preparation paid off as his Virginia team found themselves in a similar situation as a #1 seed once again in the 2019 NCAA Tournament and once again facing adversity in close games throughout the tournament. In the end, his Cavalier team persevered as they won all six tournament games and brought home the school's first National Championship. This is one of the best lessons in leadership, grit and resilience that you will ever hear.
