I never heard of Bobby Hurley until March when the movie about him and St. Anthony's School premiered on PBS. Frankly, I hadn't thought much of him since until I read the other day that his team was playing in Newton this week. But even though I just heard of him and haven't given him much thought until this week, I still greatly admire him for what he does for Catholic education. Yes, he is an amazing basketball coach but if he coached at a public school, frankly, I would not be as interested. He is committed to the school, not the team per se.
Case in point. I am reading the Adrian Wojnarowski book "The Miracle of St. Anthony" and I was just reading a section about a basketball clinic he was running. It said:
On his way out, the clinic organizer asked Hurley to whom to make out the check for his appearance fee.
Bob Hurley's answer never changed, becayse the money went where it always did.
"Saint Anthony High School," he said.
He's the real deal.
