“I am incredibly excited to welcome Shaheen Holloway and his family home to Seton Hall,” Felt said. “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 student-athletes in 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.
“Shaheen Holloway is one of Seton Hall’s all-time greats, having accomplished so much as both a student-athlete and a coach,” said Kevin Marino, Chair of Seton Hall University’s Board of Regents. “The love that he has for this University combined with his considerable talent as both coach and recruiter makes him the quintessential person to lead our men’s basketball program.”
Saint Peter’s steady climb under Holloway culminated in a March run that made shock waves across the nation. It started with the Peacocks earning the No. 2 seed in the MAAC Tournament and defeating Monmouth in the championship game to clinch the conference’s automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.
Prior to joining Seton Hall, Holloway served on Willard’s staff at Iona, where he helped turn the Gaels program around. Inheriting a team that went 2-28 in 2006-07, Holloway and Willard recruited and coached student-athletes to one of the greatest turnarounds in college basketball history as their 2009-10 team won 21 games to complete a 19-win turnaround in only the third year of the administration.
