Seton Hall men’s basketball coach Shaheen Holloway delivered a strange response when he showed up to a press conference with a taped up wrist after his team’s season-opening game.
Holloway was coaching an incredibly close game against the Saint Peter’s Peacocks – a team that he used to lead – when he arrived to the presser with a wrap on his left hand.
‘I think I broke my wrist at halftime,’ Holloway told reporters.
When asked what happened that led to the break in his hand, he simply replied, ‘Coaching stuff’.
Holloway, a former Seton Hall player, had to have been livid with the results of the game – even though the Pirates came out on top in the end.
Despite leading at the half, Seton Hall ended up giving up their advantage to St. Peter’s – a small school in Jersey City, New Jersey that has less than 4,000 students, compared to Seton Hall which has nearly 10,000 in the same state.
A flurry of mistakes from both teams kept the game close as the teams combined for 53 foul calls.
Fortunately for Holloway, Seton Hall won the game 57-53 to start their season 1-0.
Holloway had an accomplished career as a player, but rose to national prominence with Saint Peter’s in the 2022 NCAA Tournament.
Despite the school’s size, the 15-seed Peacocks were able to make a run to the Elite Eight – becoming the first 15-seed to do so.
They beat second-seed Kentucky in the opening game, then beat seven-seed Murray State to reach the Sweet 16.
There, they knocked off three-seed Purdue before eventually falling in the Elite Eight to national runner-up North Carolina.
