Bill rafferty biography basketball coaches fired

Each October, beloved college basketball broadcaster Bill Raftery makes the rounds among Big East schools to check out preseason practices. This past fall he left South Orange with modest expectations for season two under Shaheen Holloway. Winning at UConn is a massive challenge for anyone. The Huskies dispatched the last two visitors — Villanova and Marquette — by a combined 52 points.

But Seton Hall has played them tough, splitting the past six meetings and manhandling the defending national champs by 15 points in Newark Dec. The Huskies do not, however, match up with Hall playmaker Kadary Richmond, who bedeviled them with 23 points, six rebounds, five assists and eight steals in the last meeting. He lumbers and then he explodes, which is a very tough thing to defend.

And they complement around him, too, with Dre Davis and Al Dawes — those kids are legit players. Same for Sean Miller at Xavier. Raftery was asked why Seton Hall has produced five current Division 1 head coaches, second only to Duke's nine. The area really loves the game. Raftery left the Hall just as Boyle was arriving.
