Just three high school coaches have ever been inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame, and one of those is Bob Hurley. Despite only coaching at a small private Catholic school in New Jersey, Hurley sent over 150 players to Division I college programs and half a dozen to the NBA. In addition, he never took any payment for his coaching or speaking engagements over his 40+ years in the role in order to save St. Anthony’s as much money as he could to fund the students’ tuition. This man truly epitomized the idea of being a pillar of the community.
