George Blaney was hired as the first varsity basketball coach in 1965, following a brief N.B.A. career consisting of stints with the New York Knickerbockers (a 1961 draft pick) and Philadelphia 76ers. He served at Hudson Catholic for three seasons before moving on to the collegiate ranks where he built a 43-year career as a distinguished college basketball coach.
Starting at Stonehill College in 1968, Coach Blaney served for two seasons, then three seasons at Dartmouth College, before returning to his alma mater Holy Cross, where he was a standout player and joined the ranks of the 1,000-point club. He directed Holy Cross for 22 seasons, after which Seton Hall came calling. He ended his head coaching career at Seton Hall in 1997, after three seasons.
