After Shaheen Holloway led Saint Peter’s to the Elite Eight in their magical tournament run, everyone knew it was only a matter of time before he was poached by a bigger program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And what better program to be poached by than the one he grew up in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today Seton Hall announced they were bringing Holloway back home to the South Orange, NJ campus where he was a four-year star for the Pirates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I am incredibly excited to welcome Shaheen Holloway\u00a0and his family home to Seton Hall,” said director of athletics Bryan Felt in a statement<\/a>. “Shaheen is a winner in every sense of the word, and he is not only an incredible coach, but also an incredible educator of young men. He works tirelessly to put his\u00a0student-athletes\u00a0in a position to succeed, and he makes them believe that they can achieve anything with hard work and determination. That is evidenced by his historic NCAA Tournament run this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “Shaheen made an unforgettable impact here at Seton Hall first as a student-athlete and then again as an assistant coach, and now we’re ready to watch him take over our men’s basketball program as head coach and lead our Pirates to further greatness. Welcome home, Coach Holloway!” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
