NEW YORK - Bob Hurley Sr. has coached enough winning basketball in his time to know the necessary ingredients.

And the Naismith Hall of Fame coach has been impressed with Shaheen Holloway and Seton Hall as the Pirates have gotten off to a 9-1 start entering Saturday’s Garden State Hardwood Classic against Rutgers (5-5).

“Seton Hall’s whole is so much better than the parts,” Hurley told NJ Advance Media during a filming in Manhattan of the upcoming documentary “The Scout & The Scholar” about legendary scouts Howard Garfinkel and Tom Konchalski.

“They’ve done a great job of integrating players,” Hurley added. “They play hard, they have timely shooting right now, and they’re dangerous because you can’t load up on a particular player. They’re very balanced in the way they play.”
