Echoing the others here, and other grade school Namers, allow sincerest condolence to Mr. Holloran's family.Never underestimate how important he was in shaping and challenging us as young people, and as athletes.He was the first person to stress "fundamentals". A sporting word I never heard before him. Drills and discipline. How to bounce pass. Who knew?Every now and then he would treat us to his famed half court shot. And this, because he remembered having been where we were. He pushed and pushed. And also rewarded with encouragement and praise.We were so young. He understood us. I'll never forget him. He challenged me to take risk as an athlete, and to overcome the fear of risk, as a kid. And in such a short window. Impact.His kindness and time sacrifice, like all our Holy Name coaches, have always been a part of my life. I hope that I have carried it forward.My warm regards to his family. Your loss, and the burden of it, are shared wider than you may know.Patrick Shields
