Shaheen Holloway's incredible success with Saint Peter's during March Madness was exhilarating for their fans. However, there was a looming problem over the Peacocks: Holloway himself. After his stellar coaching job in Jersey, rumors started floating about the coach transferring to his alma mater Seton Hall.
After their loss to the UNC Tar Heels in the Elite Eight, Shaheen Holloway addressed the rumors regarding his move to Seton Hall. The coach was adamant to not talk about it at the moment, saying that he had a job to do as the coach of this team. (via ESPN)
“I'm not worried about that right now,” he said. “I'm worried about those 15 young men whose hearts are broken and really down. It's my job as their leader to cheer them up, make sure they understand what they did the last two weeks. And like I said, we're going to walk out of here the same way we walked in here, with our head up.”
It was reported earlier that Holloway was already out of Saint Peter's and was headed to Seton Hall. While Holloway declined to talk about his rumors, it's hard not to imagine him leaving for Seton Hall. After all, Holloway studied there, and became one of their basketball team's legends.
Add to that the fact that his son is named after a dormitory wing in Seton Hall, and it becomes even harder to imagine him staying in Saint Peter's. It was a magical run to the top, but their journey might end here. Hopefully, Doug Edert and the rest of the team can build upon Holloway's work and become an consistent threat in the NCAA.
