Longtime St. Anthony (N.J.) High School coach Bob Hurley won the 2017 Best Coach Award at this year’s ESPYs on Wednesday night.
“It’s really a great honor to be here tonight,” Hurley, who turn 70 July 31st, said in his acceptance speech. “Getting this award alongside all these iconic coaches, but even more specifically it’s a great honor to be representing all these great coaches.”
During his 44-year coaching career at St. Anthony’s, Hurley went 1,162-119 and captured 28 State Parochial titles and four national championships. In 2010, he was inducted into the Naismith Hall of Fame, becoming the second high school coach to be inducted.
