CSR 340 Bob Hurley

In 2010 he was enshrined in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame -- one of only three high school coaches ever to receive that honor. He began coaching at St. Anthony's High School in Jersey City in 1972 and his teams won 28 state high school championships, had 18 undefeated seasons, won nine consecutive championships, were four-time USA Today national champions, and he was a three-time USA Today National Coach of the Year. He finished with an amazing won-lost record of 1,185 victories and just 125 defeats and produced over 150 players to Division I basketball programs and coached six first-round NBA draft picks. He is the President of the People's Park Foundation, focused on regulation-sized athletic fields and a true community park for Jersey City, plus, in 2017 he founded the Hurley Family Foundation to continue his mission of developing children's potential in life through the game of basketball.
