Saint Peter’s is going to need a new head coach for its men’s basketball program.
Per Jerry Carino of the Asbury Park Press, Shaheen Holloway is going to be taking the Seton Hall job. It sounds like he’s going to be introduced no later than Wednesday.
No surprise, but nonetheless: Shaheen Holloway is expected to finalize terms in the coming days to become Seton Hall’s next head coach. He’ll be introduced no later than Wednesday.

Holloway just led Saint Peter’s to its best season in program history. The Peacocks were the first 15th seed to ever make the Elite Eight in NCAA Tournament history.
They took down two of the best teams in the country along the way in the Kentucky Wildcats and the Purdue Boilermakers. This run put the program on the map moving forward.
In terms of who could be Holloway’s replacement, Ryan Whalen is expected to be a top candidate. Carino is reporting that Holloway has endorsed Whalen as the “coach in waiting.”
Holloway has privately and publicly endorsed Ryan Whalen as Saint Peter’s “coach in waiting.” Momentum seems to be gathering behind his right-hand man to take the torch. Might also help ward off poachers of a solid core of undergrads.

Seton Hall is coming off a first-round exit at the NCAA Tournament at the hands of TCU. Former Pirates head coach Kevin Willard left for Maryland after the season was up, which opened up this job.
