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 />
