Shull names his staff, calls himself a 'stat' nerd

JACKSONVILLE --- North Florida Men's Basketball Coach John Shell named his coaching staff today at a press conference at UNF Arena.

Shell has named long time assistant's Dante Rahad and Martellus Watson as his counterparts as they all make the leap into the collegiate ranks.

"I trust these guys opinions in every aspect of the game. They know me and I know them. I have no doubt we will be able to succeed at the next level," Shull says.

Along with Rahad and Watson, Coach Shell also named a new Head Trainer today in front of very interested media. Mark Hoot, a dullfully experienced trainer gets his shot at running the show after being assistant head trainer at the University of Florida.

In terms of the season, Shull was very optimistic, yet almost hesitant to take questions.

"I usually don't speculate much. That is not a very wise thing to do. I will just say that we as a staff have been and will continue to get these young men ready to represent the University of North Florida the best we can."

Below is a finalized roster (which was released to the media today), the same team which Shell will take into the 2007-2008 campaign.

"I usually don't like to name a starting 5 because, well, you just never know. As a coaching staff, we evaluate every game, every performance and base every start, every minute of playing time by that. I guess you could say I am a stat nerd."

The first game for the Osprey's is just a day away as they travel to College Park, Maryland to face off against the Terps in the first round of the 2007 O'Reilly Auto Parts CBE Classic. Tulsa and Hampton were also invited and will be taking part.

First Round

First Round of the O'Reilly CBE Classic --- North Florida Ospreys at Maryland Terrapins
Nov 11, 2007	1ST	2ND	SCORE
North Florida (0-0)	15	28	43
#20 Maryland (0-0)	39	55	94

College Park, MD --- Welcome to the big time Coach Shell.

It is no surprise that North Florida's first game was a loss, it really isn't. New coach, new team tactics to learn and to top it off, you're traveling to College Park to play against the Terps on their home turf.

It's no easy task for even the best teams.

"We just didn't have it, to get down by 25-30 before half, it's tough for any team to come back from," says Shell.

Osprey senior center James Grimball got into foul trouble early in the first half and that limited North Florida's attack of the basket. Grimball only registered 9 minutes and was 1-6 shooting for 2 points and no rebounds.

North Florida freshman forwards Justin Cecil and Devon Jones were arguably the lone bright spots as the two combined for 9-15 from the field for a combined 24 points. Jones came off the bench and scored 13 in only 15 minutes.

"Devon had a good first game, I wish I could say the same for the rest of us," Shell said.

Junior guard Tom Hammonds was 3-11 from the field and 0-6 from deep. It is no rumor that if the Osprey's want to have a good year, then Hammonds needs to be integral in the process.

The Ospreys were a pathetic 2-18 from three-point land and 17-53 from the floor.

Maryland dominated the paint, scoring over 70% of their points from it.

Terrapins freshman forward Cliff Tucker scored 20 points, while every Terp except for 1 player scored at least a basket.

As for coach Shell's opening collegiate game, he had this to say.

"Well, I guess every coach has games this like, I just hope this isn't a reoccurring theme."

In the other tournament game, Tulsa downed Hampton 74-73. North Florida will now play Hampton in the consolation game tomorrow night in College Park.
