Coaching Staff<br />
Head Coach<br />
Bernie Driscoll<br />
Bernie Driscoll returns for his sixth season as head coach of<br />
the men’s basketball team at <strong>Kutztown</strong> <strong>University</strong>.<br />
In his five years at the helm of the Golden Bears, Driscoll has<br />
tallied a 62-73 overall record. However, after a two-year rebuilding<br />
process, he has a 51-33 mark the past three seasons. Driscoll has<br />
led the Golden Bears to three straight winning seasons and PSAC<br />
playoffs appearances, both firsts for the KU program. His mark in<br />
PSAC East play stands at 25-35, but KU is 21-15 over the last<br />
three years.<br />
Last season, Driscoll guided <strong>Kutztown</strong> to a 15-12 mark overall and a 6-6 record in PSAC<br />
East action. The team advanced to the conference quarterfinals and was nationally ranked as<br />
high as No. 17. The 2003-04 season was one of the best in the program’s history. The Golden<br />
Bears finished 18-11 overall, including 7-5 in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference<br />
(PSAC) East Division. KU reached the PSAC title game for the first time in 16 years. In 2002-<br />
03, Driscoll’s club had a remarkable turnaround and he earned PSAC East Coach of the Year<br />
honors. After winning a combined 11 games in two years, the Golden Bears went 18-10 overall,<br />
and 8-4 in the PSAC East. The squad made its first PSAC playoff appearance since 1999,<br />
winning the second-most games in school history.<br />
Driscoll came to <strong>Kutztown</strong> from West Chester, where he served as the top assistant coach<br />
since 1987. In his final three seasons there, the Golden Rams won two PSAC East titles, and<br />
received two bids to the NCAA Tournament. WCU produced a string of three straight 20-win<br />
seasons, and appeared in the PSAC Final Four each of those three years. In addition, Driscoll<br />
was a key factor in the academic success of the Golden Ram basketball program, which boasted<br />
a 98% graduation rate for its players.<br />
Driscoll, 50, received a bachelor’s degree in biology from Dickinson College, Carlisle, PA,<br />
in 1977. While at Dickinson, he participated in varsity football and baseball and still holds most<br />
of the career receiving records at the school. He received a master’s degree in education from St.<br />
Joseph’s <strong>University</strong>, Philadelphia, PA, in 1988.<br />
Driscoll and his wife, Liz, have three children - daughters, Maureen (21) and Kelly (18),<br />
and son, Ricky (17).<br />
Assistant Coach<br />
Tom York<br />
Tom York enters his fifth season as assistant men’s basketball<br />
coach at <strong>Kutztown</strong> <strong>University</strong>.<br />
A KU graduate with a bachelor’s degree in elementary education,<br />
York was a three-year starter and two-time MVP selection as<br />
a Golden Bear. He earned first-team All-PSAC East honors in<br />
1980-81. After coaching at Phoenixville and Glen Mills high schools,<br />
York compiled a 96-92 record in seven seasons as KU’s head<br />
women’s basketball coach (1987-94). He was named PSAC East<br />
Coach of the Year after guiding the women’s basketball team to an 18-10 record in 1989-90.<br />
York then spent four stellar seasons as head coach of girls’ basketball at Wilson High<br />
School (1996-00) in West Lawn, PA. He compiled a record of 105-20, winning two county<br />
championships and three AAAA District III titles. He came back to KU from Exeter High<br />
School, where he coached girls’ basketball in 2000-01.<br />
York and his wife, Wendy, have two children - son, Travis (15) and daughter, Amanda (13).<br />

Season Outlook<br />
Golden Bears Look<br />
to Remain Among PSAC Elite<br />
After posting three straight winning seasons<br />
and Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference<br />
(PSAC) playoff appearances, both<br />
firsts in the history of the program, <strong>Kutztown</strong><br />
will have to replace three starters if they hope<br />
to make it four in a row. The team finished<br />
15-12 overall and 6-6 in the PSAC East, advancing<br />
to the conference quarterfinals.<br />
The Golden Bears have to replace NCAA<br />
Division II’s third most prolific shot blocker<br />
and the school’s all-time leading rebounder,<br />
Bilal Salaam, and two of the best long range<br />
shooters in KU history, Bobby Eberhart and<br />
Ty Brickus. Both Salaam and Eberhart were<br />
1,000-point scorers, as well. Also gone are<br />
four reserves Vince Pease, Dave Moyer, Tyler<br />
Reynolds and Ryan Eisenhart.<br />
Replacing them all will pose a formidable<br />
challenge, but head coach Bernie<br />
Driscoll feels that the returning cast, as well<br />
as a talented batch of newcomers is up to the<br />
task. With the loss of Salaam’s interior presence,<br />
the Golden Bears will turn to a more<br />
up-tempo, perimeter based attack. KU’s<br />
lineup at any time may feature as many as<br />
four guards.<br />
Senior Frank Moultrie and Junior<br />
Dorian Sims return to the back court.<br />
Moultrie, who topped the 20-point mark on<br />
four occasions in 2004-05, can be an explosive<br />
scorer. His 9.2 ppg and 79% free throw<br />
shooting last season is the best among<br />
<strong>Kutztown</strong>’s returning players. His seven<br />
made three-pointers versus Columbia Union<br />
last season tied a school record. Sims started<br />
seven of 23 games last season, as KU’s top<br />
reserve. He shot 54% from the field and averaged<br />
7.4 ppg.<br />
A pair of Cheyney transfers, Bruce Hall<br />
(sr. Cheltenham/Cheltenham) and<br />
Maurice Bryant (jr. Coatesville/<br />
Coatesville), will also play large roles. Hall<br />
is a high energy player expected to provide<br />
leadership. He averaged 9.7 ppg and had 65<br />
assists in his junior year at Cheyney. He<br />
redshirted last season after his transfer.<br />
Bryant ranked in the top-five in the conference<br />
in assists (130,87) in both of his seasons<br />
at Cheyney. He also averaged 9.2 ppg.<br />
last season. Whether he starts or comes off<br />
the bench, Driscoll expects him to have an<br />
immediate impact.<br />
Forward Ben Arnold figures to be the<br />
lone interior player in the KU starting five.<br />
He started 25 of the squad’s 27 games in<br />
2004-05 and finished second on the team in<br />
rebounding at 6.4 per game. He also contributed<br />
8.6 points per contest.<br />
Moultrie, Hall and Arnold will serve as<br />
team captains.<br />
Redshirt freshman David Ben figures<br />
to take over for Eberhart on the wing. An<br />
athletic player, he can shoot and rebound.<br />
Junior Terrance Davis and sophomores<br />
Bryan Riggins and Kevin Hafera will play<br />
more prominent roles off the bench this season.<br />
Davis and Riggins both check in at 6-5,<br />
while Hafera stands 6-7. Davis started three<br />
games of the 23 he played as a sophomore,<br />
averaging seven minutes per game. Riggins,<br />
who is also a member of the KU baseball<br />
team, showed flashes of potential in limited<br />
action during 21 games played. Hafera saw<br />
time in just five games, but should carve out<br />
a larger role this season.<br />
Three incoming freshmen should also<br />
challenge for time off the bench. Andre<br />
Woodlin (Philadelphia/Central) was a<br />
Philadelphia All-Public League performer<br />
who is one of the better athletes on the squad.<br />
Jeremy Coombs (Philadelphia/Northeast<br />
Catholic) may see action in the paint immediately<br />
with his 6-7, 260-lb. frame. He reminds<br />
many <strong>Kutztown</strong> <strong>University</strong> basketball<br />
observers of Ben Arnold. Mark Bower<br />
(West Deptford, NJ/West Deptford) is a 6-<br />
7 player who possesses the skills to score in<br />
the paint as well as hit an occasional threepoint<br />
shot.<br />
The Golden Bears open their <strong>2005</strong>-<strong>06</strong><br />
season on November 15, when they travel to<br />
Columbia Union.<br />

Facilities<br />
<strong>Kutztown</strong> <strong>University</strong> is blessed with some of the top athletic facilities among Division<br />
II colleges and universities in the Eastern United States. Twenty of KU’s 21 teams have their<br />
home venues on campus.<br />
Keystone Hall<br />
The headquarters of the KU athletic department, Keystone Hall is the hub of indoor athletic<br />
activity on campus. Keystone Hall also houses the Golden Bear Sports Medicine department,<br />
designated locker rooms for all intercollegiate athletic teams, and a state-of-the-art<br />
fitness room.<br />
Keystone Arena<br />
The 3,400-seat Keystone Arena,<br />
located in the center of Keystone<br />
Hall, is the home of the Golden<br />
Bear volleyball team in the fall,<br />
and the men’s and women’s basketball<br />
and wrestling teams in the<br />
winter. It served as the site of a<br />
town meeting by President George<br />
W. Bush in 2004 and was the training<br />
camp home of the NBA’s New<br />
Jersey Nets in the fall of 1995.<br />
▼<br />
Risley Weight Room<br />
Athletes get extensive use out of the freeweight<br />
room, located on the ground floor of<br />
Risley Hall, the original gym. The weight<br />
room was recently renovated and expanded.<br />
Keystone Field House<br />
Keystone Field House is home to<br />
the KU men’s and women’s indoor<br />
track teams, and has been the site<br />
of major eastern championships in<br />
recent years. The field house is<br />
used by all teams for indoor practice<br />
and overflow athletic events<br />
and many camps and clinics<br />
throughout the year. It is also used<br />
for non-athletic events, such as<br />
President Clinton’s address during<br />
his visit in 1995.<br />

Men’s <strong>Basketball</strong> History/Honors<br />
On January 24, 1903, then Keystone State<br />
Normal School faced off against Reading High<br />
School. Although the Maroon & Gold was defeated,<br />
24-8, the game began a century of men’s<br />
basketball that produced numerous outstanding<br />
players and several conference championships.<br />
The first faculty coach was also a standout<br />
player. KU Athletics Hall of Fame member<br />
George B. Ely came to <strong>Kutztown</strong> in 1905. A<br />
standout athlete and coach, he led the basketball<br />
team to successful records from 1905-08.<br />
The men’s basketball program reached a<br />
high level of success in the late 1910s, winning<br />
two Pennsylvania State Normal School championships.<br />
The program’s first title, and the first<br />
championship in any sport at the school, came<br />
in 1917. Coach Bert Bohler and player Raymond<br />
Loose led the team to a perfect 18-0 record that<br />
season. In 1919, Bohler led an almost completely<br />
new cast of players to a second championship.<br />
Arlan Baver was one of the best players in<br />
the first half of the century at <strong>Kutztown</strong>. He<br />
scored 711 points from 1926-30, a scoring record<br />
that stood for 25 years. He also held records for<br />
points in a season (249) and a single game (32).<br />
In 1936, a group of future Hall of Famers<br />
brought another title to <strong>Kutztown</strong>. Hall of Fame<br />
coach James MacGovern, and Hall of Fame players<br />
Russ Stoudt (captain), Joseph “Gino”<br />
Musso, John Polischak and George Kovich were<br />
key factors in the title run. The team finished<br />
the year 11-2, defeating West Chester, a team it<br />
had lost to earlier in the year, for the Pennsylvania<br />
State Teachers College championship.<br />

1,000-point scorers, including John Cresswell,<br />
the first to eclipse 1,400 career points in 1969,<br />
and George Krell, who passed Cresswell with<br />
1,467 points in 1970. Hall of Famer Eddie<br />
McTague set the school records for assists and<br />
his steals mark still stand today.<br />
In the mid-1980s, head coach Rick Binder<br />
produced several standout players and a threeyear<br />
span of 53 wins. Hall of Famer Butch Hills<br />
set the school’s scoring record with 1,525 career<br />
points. He teamed with fellow Hall of Famer<br />
Marty Eggleston, who set the career rebounds<br />
and blocks records, to lead the 1987-88 team to<br />
a school-record 21 wins. That team also won<br />
the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference East<br />
title and qualified for the NCAA playoffs.<br />
The 1990s produced the school’s current<br />
scoring leader, Lock Jennings, who scored 1,682<br />
points from 1989-93, and 1,000-point scorer,<br />
Keith Mackrey.<br />
In KU’s second century, current head coach<br />
Bernie Driscoll has posted three straight winning<br />
seasons and led <strong>Kutztown</strong> to an appearance<br />
in the PSAC title game. The decade has<br />
also produced three 1,000-point scorers - Bilal<br />
Salaam, Jeff Brickus and Bobby Eberhart - and<br />
the school’s current all-time leaders in rebounds<br />
(Salaam), assists (Brickus) and blocks (Salaam).<br />

Academics & Athletics at KU<br />
The KU Academic Success Initiative, when fully implemented by the coaching staff,<br />
provides the appropriate support, incentive, and opportunity for students to make a similar<br />
effort toward their academic success as made toward their athletic performance. The Initiative<br />
is based on the expectation that both individual and team academic performance will be<br />
at or above the level of the overall student body. This expectation is built into the evaluation<br />
of coaches and is an integral part of the process of awarding athletic scholarships. KU<br />
provides athletic scholarships to support the academic pursuits of its student-athletes.<br />
Student-athletes are expected to participate in sports because they love to do so.<br />
Continuing indications reveal that the Initiative works and is having a profound and<br />
measurable effect on both academic and athletic performance. Over the past 10 years, KU’s<br />
freshman class of student-athletes has had a significantly higher grade-point average than the<br />
overall freshman class, while the 2004-05 school year saw all student-athletes achieve a<br />
highest-ever GPA of 2.91, surpassing the overall GPA of the <strong>Kutztown</strong> student body. Also<br />
last year, 103 student-athletes garnered Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Scholar-<br />
Athlete honors. During the same period, the athletic success of KU’s teams reached all-time<br />
records.<br />
The KU Academic Success Initiative contains the following components:<br />
The Monitoring of Progress: The academic<br />
progress of student-athletes is continually<br />
tracked and monitored. This includes: GPA<br />
reports, persistence rate reports, close monitoring<br />
of first-time students, and NCAA eligibility<br />
compliance reports.<br />
Course Selection and Registration: In<br />
order to avoid unnecessary conflicts between<br />
athletic events and classes, student-athletes<br />
are provided a registration date earlier than<br />
the rest of the campus student population.<br />
Registration is now done online via the<br />
Internet. Students can go online at any time<br />
to view their schedule, grades, transcript, financial<br />
aid, payments, charges and restrictions<br />
on their account.<br />
Academic Coaching: This year-long program<br />
is based on one-on-one personal contacts<br />
between the coach and the student-athlete.<br />
The meetings are held more frequently<br />
in the fall in recognition of the benefits of<br />
establishing good habits early. During these<br />
meetings, the following topics may be addressed:<br />
seminar follow-up, class attendance,<br />
parental intervention and involvement and<br />
information about advising and registration.<br />
These meetings can also serve to address any<br />
other academic and/or personal matters of<br />
concern to the student-athlete.<br />
Faculty Advising: This is an essential part<br />
of the college experience and is often a major<br />
factor in the ultimate academic success of<br />
students. Advisor meetings are required in<br />
order to register for classes.<br />
Pre-Season Academic Seminars: During<br />
pre-season camps and/or the first week of<br />
classes, athletes may participate in seminars<br />
addressing topics such as time management,<br />
study skills, class participation, student/faculty<br />
relationships and graduation planning.<br />
Materials are provided and used as a reference<br />
throughout the semester.<br />
Career Services Visit For Undeclared<br />
Majors: Incoming students who have not<br />
yet declared a major or who may be unsure<br />
of their chosen major are highly encouraged<br />
to visit the Career Services Office. There,<br />
the students will be tested to measure their<br />
interests and help them select a major.<br />
Referrals For Services to the Department<br />
of Developmental Studies: Student-athletes<br />
are strongly encouraged to make use of<br />
the Department of Developmental Studies’<br />
services in regard to tutoring or other needs<br />
for specialized instruction.<br />

Referrals For Services to the Counseling<br />
and Advisement Center: Trained counselors/faculty<br />
advisors are available to help<br />
with psychological/academic counseling/advisement<br />
issues. Such referrals are available<br />
to all student-athletes.<br />
Mentoring: Student-athletes can be referred<br />
by their coach to either the formal <strong>University</strong><br />
mentoring program or to faculty and<br />
professional staff volunteers for more informal<br />
mentoring.<br />
Financial Aid Liaison: The financial aid<br />
liaison provides information to prospects and<br />
student-athletes concerning policies and<br />
guidelines of the financial aid office. Through<br />
the early version process, the liaison provides<br />
prospects with an estimate of potential<br />
funding sources. The liaison provides<br />
student-athletes with information concerning<br />
deadlines and regulations for continued<br />
financial aid, and is available to help families<br />
learn more about the financial aid process.<br />
Library Tour: A library tour is highly recommended<br />
of all incoming student-athletes.<br />
Personal Computer: Each student-athlete<br />
is strongly encouraged to have access to a<br />
networked personal computer.<br />
Recognition of Academic<br />
Accomplishments<br />
The Department of Athletics has developed<br />
a comprehensive program to provide incentive<br />
for and acknowledgement of the many<br />
academic accomplishments of its studentathletes.<br />
Below are some examples of the<br />
program.<br />
Graduation Reception: The athletic department<br />
hosts a reception for graduating student-athletes<br />
and their families at the winter<br />
and spring commencement ceremonies to recognize<br />
the culmination of student-athletes’<br />
education at <strong>Kutztown</strong> <strong>University</strong>.<br />
Awards and Honors: KU offers specific<br />
academic scholarships available only to student-athletes.<br />
KU student-athletes are nominated<br />
for all available NCAA, PSAC and<br />
CoSIDA awards.<br />
Scholar-Athlete Banquet: Each year, the<br />
PSAC Scholar-Athletes are recognized at a<br />
banquet in their honor.<br />
Dean’s List Ceremony: All <strong>Kutztown</strong> <strong>University</strong><br />
student-athlete dean’s list recipients<br />
are acknowledged at a basketball game every<br />
year.<br />
