A week later, Carrie tells me that the stress of this season in particular has af- fected the Driscoll boys a lot. She understands that for four months of the year, her husband won’t be at home as much — no family dinners and less qual- ity time. She said the key is making their home a safe haven, where the subject of Driscoll’s work is off limits. “Sometimes he comes home full of fire, rushing in the door talking about basket- ball. It’s not uncommon for me to say, ‘OK, go back out and try coming back in again.’ He doesn’t physically do it, but he gets the picture,” Carrie said. Balance has always been a struggle for Driscoll. In a 2009 article written by Andy Katz for ESPN, both Shyatt and Baylor head coach Scott Drew — Driscoll’s last boss — cautioned Driscoll against working too much at the expense of family. “When I lost the job at Clemson, I think I gained proper perspective,” Driscoll said. “I don’t think I work less, but I work smarter.” “I wish I was better in a lot of ways,” he told me later.

Thursday
Game night, Feb 21. The culmination of the long hours watching film, the sacrifices made, the mental and physical energy ex- pended, comes down to tonight’s game. A third loss in a row would drop UNF to the bottom of the A-Sun standings and deflate a team just two weeks away from the A-Sun Conference Tournament. UNF jumps out to a 12 point halftime lead, the exact same score they led by when they lost to ETSU earlier in the year, but this time, they finish the job. UNF cracked the ETSU zone defense and beat the Bucs 77-64. In the post game press conference, Driscoll, who has been known to quote the Bible in his opening statement, spoke to the media about toughness. “Toughness isn’t, ‘I’m gonna’ beat you up or I’m gonna’ fight you,’ or ‘I’m going to run Sean Patterson | Spinnaker my head through a wall.’ That’s not intel- Top: Driscoll had to make sure his team was prepared for a make or break game against ETSU ligent,” Driscoll said. in two days.
