Yesterday was not a press conference. It was more like a coronation. Shaheen Holloway, Seton Hall's favorite son, or like Kevin Marino said on the dais the "Real Deal" has come home.
I have been to many of these press conferences, with one being Kevin Willard's. That was was almost antiseptic. Boring with polite applause at times.
Not yesterday. the setting was almost electric. 7 standing ovations for Sha as he spoke. How do I know? Well Harty9, tact and I sat in the media area (snuck them in) and right next to us was Bruce Beck who was counting and just as impressed as everyone else in the gym.
I have not yet seen the video, but I hope in some small way it captured the emotions of the event.
In short I expected a lot. But not the overwhelming love that permeated Walsh all day long.
Odd and ends to follow
