The Street Stops Here is a portrait of the nation s best high school basketball coach, Bob Hurley, Sr. and his career-long struggle to inspire and motivate those around him in order to keep the doors of a poor, inner-city Catholic school open. This is a story about teenagers fighting their way out of the hood, armed with little more than a basketball and the hard wisdom of a fierce, demanding coach. For 35 years, Hurley has led St. Anthony his way. He s an uncompromising teacher who demands perfection from kids who ve known little discipline growing up on the streets of Jersey City. His methodical, yet volatile style works miracles. He s tallied 900-plus victories for a school that s won 24 state championships. Hurley s sent all but two of the hundreds of players he s coached to college, a feat that truly shows what matters to him most. This season, Hurley faces challenges that will test his resolve. The most talented senior class he s ever assembled, with six seniors headed to Division 1 schools, is about to graduate without having won a state championship something that has never happened to one of his teams. Even more dire, a financial crisis threatens to close the high school he s dedicated his life to. Intimate and inspiring, The Street Stops Here is the story of a man s lifelong commitment to improve the lives of inner city kids and save the poor high school that gives them hope.
