The St. Anthony's basketball coach looms large in New Jersey sports history. Hell, he looms large in New Jersey history. And he's always been tied to Rutgers. Forgive me for not writing solely about the Scarlet Knights today, but this means a lot to me.
Talk about high school sports and you can't ignore him. Talk Rutgers basketball and is tied to it.
Bob Hurley, Sr., the head coach of the St. Anthony's basketball powerhouse, is a sports icon. He has sent a ton of kids from his high school to division 1 basketball all the way to the NBA.
