The Hurley's

Here is a video piece I came across featuring Danny Hurley (Seton Hall) and brother Bobby (Duke) and how they've taken over the program at Wagner in Staten Island, NY.  The video talks about how they are going about changing the culture, what it's like working with each other, and how they became who they are today as coaches.
 



They reference their father, Bob Hurley, who is the coach at St. Anthony's in Jersey City.  Coach Hurley has 26 State Championships and over 1000 career victories.  One of only a few high school coaches inducted in to the Basketball Hall of Fame.  A few years ago I took a trip to Jersey City to meet Coach Hurley and to watch his team practice twice and play.  That particular team had 6 guys signed to D1 scholarships, and a 7th once junior Dominic Cheek signed with Villanova.  They included Mike Rosario (Florida), Tyshawn Taylor (Kansas), Travon Woodall (Pitt), and Jio Fontan (USC).

During that season a documentary was filmed and was there step by step along the way to an undefeated season and a national championship.  The documentary is titled The Street Stops Here.  Below is the trailer.

If you want a little more info on Coach Hurley or St. Anthony's, here is a piece from 60 minutes done the year after the above movie came out.  Coach Hurley is a fantastic man, a great coach, his wife keeps the book because she is the only one he trusts, and if you are ever in the NY/NJ area, go check out a game and if you are a coach go watch a practice.  They were very open to letting us come watch when we asked a few years back.
