Jerry Buckley enters his 17th season as Head Coach of the Bishop Kenny basketball program with an overall 308-144 record. During his tenure, the Crusaders have won eight districts titles, appeared in the Regional Playoffs on twelve separate occasions, and earned berths in two Final Fours (2013 and 2016). He was recognized as the Florida State Coach of the Year in 2016 by the NFHS Coaches Association and has served on the FHSAA Basketball Advisory Committee multiple times.

Buckley graduated from The Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C., where he played basketball from 1989-1993. During his time at Catholic U., he played for current ESPN personality Bob Valvano and former George Washington University Head Coach Mike Lonergan. As a senior, he helped co-captain a team that won the Capital Athletic Conference regular season and tournament championships and advanced to the NCAA Division III National Tournament.

Now in his 28th year of coaching, Buckley previously served as an assistant coach at Albertus Magnus HS (Bardonia, NY), and Buchholz HS (Gainesville, FL), before arriving at Bishop Kenny in 1999.
