UNF Director of Athletics Lee Moon
On his visit with Moon at Baylor University
When I visited Baylor, I quickly saw how completely involved coach Driscoll was in the university.
On the UNF basketball program
It's about building a family – a basketball family – and bringing the athletic department, the university and the student body together.
UNF Men's Basketball Coach Matthew Driscoll
On his impressions of UNF
I just can't believe what this campus has to offer. I can't believe what you have on this campus in terms of buildings and people and the greenness of the campus.
On the state of the UNF men's basketball program
I am not interested in yesterday because we know that is all history, and I am not interested in tomorrow because we all know that is a mystery. But I am certainly interested in today because today our program is getting better. And when the next day comes, that day our program will get better…. There is a lot of effort and a lot of work to be put in to get this program to where we need to get this program. But we are going to do it now, and we are going to win now and we are going out on the floor to compete to win now.
On work ethic
You must have great trust in who is leading you and a work ethic that goes far and beyond what you believe you can do.
On his expectations for UNF basketball
We are going to do this from a family perspective, and we are going to win championships.
