Saint Peter’s (PeacocksMBB) is a most extraordinary Cinderella story. CBB_Central on what the Peacocks have overcome, and how Shaheen Holloway has navigated one of the toughest jobs in the sport
Ryan Patrick Woerner was one of the many Peacocks coaches over the years to work as an unpaid assistant, he says. In order to make ends meet, he picked up odd jobs like refereeing CYO basketball games and substitute teaching in New York City public schools, though he said it was difficult to take on extra work and pay the bills because of the demanding hours of working as a full-time assistant coach.One common way coaches make additional money is staffing summer camps.
The team did find a basketball in the office to use for practice that day, but it was still a moment rather unbecoming of a serious D-I program.Pretty much any MAAC coach or player has a story or two about playing on the road at Saint Peter’s. Before the school renovated its arena ahead of the 2021–22 season, road teams would often encounter the general public in and near the visitor’s locker room.
“In the middle of workouts, we had to relocate the trash cans to where the holes from the top of the arena were dripping down water so the kids wouldn’t slip and fall,” Eisele says. “Every time when we were in the middle of a drill, we’d have to move the trash cans so the water wouldn’t get near the kid.
It starts with Holloway, whose four-year tenure has produced the longest sustained run of success the program has seen since the late 1980s—and that was before knocking off Kentucky and Murray State. Under previous coach Dunne, it essentially had a life cycle: struggle for two years while young players gained experience, then have success for a year or two with an older roster.
Eisele says these games had a dual purpose: Not only did they give the program a bit more breathing room from a budget standpoint, but they also served as recruiting tools because they gave the team games on national television. Saint Peter’s couldn’t sell the bells and whistles that other mid-major programs in the area could, but the chance to compete on the big stage and get national exposure was one area where the Peacocks could get an edge.
