It’s the second week of September and new Seton Hall coach Shaheen Holloway is treating this workout like it’s mid-March.
. He threw out the ceremonial first pitch at a Mets game, announced the Jets’ third-round pick at the NFL draft in Las Vegas, appeared on the “All the Smoke” podcast with Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson, and spoke at the Foot Locker Foundation gala.All this while bringing in seven new players to fill out what was a depleted roster. His popularity at his alma mater is through the roof.
“As a player, I had something to prove, and as a coach, I got something to prove,” Holloway says. “I’m in a Power Six conference. What I did last year, it doesn’t matter. I got to prove it to myself, I got to prove it to players, coaches, people in the league.”Keith Egan/SHU Athletics “It’s really contagious. You see him so passionate on the court, you want to play for him. He drives guys.”
Holloway preaches the importance of that end of the floor. You won’t see the court, he tells his players, without defending. During the practice, Holloway makes a point of emphasizing physicality. He’s most animated when Samuel blocks a shot at the rim, jumping up and down excitedly. In a five-on-three defensive drill, the players have to sprint if their defense isn’t up to Holloway’s standards. He punches the air in frustration after a few made baskets.
