Customer Reviews

Unique account of a coach and his 2 sons

This book is a treasure for anyone who has a link to college basketball in new jersey. I personally know at least 5 people mentioned in the book. The day by day account of mr. hurley's life as a coach and father is great, but some of the 'harsher' realities of grooming inner city young men to be successful basketball players are missing.

truly entertaining

Bob Hurley gives an amazing account of what it's like to be a basketball father. He follows the career of his two sons, Bobby, at Duke, and Danny, a guard for Seton Hall. While having two sons to follow in college basketball, Coach Hurley finds time to lead his St. Anthony's team to a state championship. This book speaks volumes about what type of man Bob Hurley Sr. is.
