Daily News | The St. Peter’s assistant coach who got his start as a JV player at St. Joe’s | Mike Jensen
There were all the delirious chills and goose bumps and screams and tears from a winning NCAA locker room you’d expect, memories embedded for a lifetime. … You had Kentucky winning the whole thing in your March Madness bracket? At a little school in Jersey City, it was thinking of other-case scenarios, these Peacocks of St. Peter’s, as they were about to face Kentucky.
Mike Farrelly, now a Penn State assistant coach, was in charge, with Bob Hughes, now Rosemont’s coach, as his primary assistant. “I only applied to one school,” Whelan said. “My sister went to Villanova. I knew I wanted to be close to her.” “They do a really good job of living in the moment,” Whalen said of Peacocks players. “Sometimes to their detriment. Recently, it seemed to work out for us.”
“I always said I wanted to be my father — not be like my father, be my father,” Whalen said. “So coaching was the only option for me.”“He always says he has a Harvard education in basketball,” Whalen said of his father, Joe. The circle really is unbroken here. Joe Whalen coached Shaheen Holloway in high school, plus had future St. Joe’s players Tyrone Barley and Dwayne Lee in AAU ball, and Ahmad Nivens when Joe was an assistant at St. Anthony’s.
