Seton Hall is finalizing a six-year deal to hire Saint Peter’s coach Shaheen Holloway, according to Stadium’s Jeff Goodman.
Holloway, who is seen as a rising star in the coaching profession, put his ability on full display as he guided Saint Peter’s to a Cinderella run in the NCAA tournament.
The Peacocks made history as the first No. 15 seed to make it to the Elite Eight. The program’s magical March run ended on Sunday night in a loss to No. 8 seed North Carolina.
The 45-year-old Holloway was long seen as the favorite to replace Kevin Willard at Seton Hall after Willard left the Pirates to become the new coach at Maryland last week.
