Chasing Perfect: A Conversation with Hall of Fame Basketball Coach Bob Hurley & Daniel Paisner

The inspiring story of the most famous high school basketball coach in America. In 40 seasons as the head coach of St. Anthony High School, a private parochial school in Jersey City, New Jersey, Bob Hurley has established a standard of excellence and achievement without peer, and remarkably, he has done this at a high school with a total student body enrollment of about 230, with no gymnasium, and with an operating deficit that threatens to shut the place down each year. Hurley himself sweeps the floor before each home game. Despite the long odds against them, Hurley’s teams have captured 26 state titles and four consensus national championships, all behind an astonishing career winning percentage of .905.
