Seton Hall University Men's Basketball

Dedication. Desire. Discipline. The Three D's are the foundation of head coach Shaheen Holloway's program and they are the words that he has lived by on and off the basketball court. It's a foundation that is centered around winning, personal and athletic development, and a commitment to Seton Hall basketball. When Holloway, a former associate head coach and standout student-athlete at Seton Hall, was named the new head men’s basketball coach at his alma mater on March 30, 2022, he stated that this was an opportunity that he couldn't mess up because, as he said, "it's way too important to me." With The Three D's serving as the foundation, Holloway is building a championship contender and is already establishing a winning legacy through two seasons. Holloway led Seton Hall to a 25-win season and the 2024 National Invitation Tournament championship in his second season at the helm in South Orange. The Pirates' 25 victories was tied for the fourth-most in school history and their most wins in a single season since 2015-16. Despite being picked to finish ninth out of 11 teams in the BIG EAST's preseason coaches poll, Holloway led The Hall to a 13-7 mark in conference play and a fourth-place finish in the league standings. The 13 BIG EAST victories, tied for the second-most in program history with the 2019-20 Pirates, were highlighted by a 15-point win over eventual national champion UConn on Dec. 20, 75-60, and a 78-75 win over seventh-ranked Marquette on Jan. 6. Both wins came a

Francis was in Iowa City for nine seasons, part of what was the longest tenured coaching in Division I men’s college basketball, and was McCaffery’s first hire in April 2010. The Hawkeyes averaged 20 wins in eight consecutive seasons and won at least 18 games per season for six straight seasons (2012-17) with Francis on the bench. The Hawkeyes were one of just three teams to finish in the upper division of the Big Ten in at least six of his last seven seasons.
