Boston-based Shooting Touch, which educates and empowers at-risk kids using basketball, didn’t get some slouch to lead its annual Kids Camp at Roxbury Latin School on Monday.

No, the guy gruffly offering words of encouragement and wisdom from the sideline was none other than Bob Hurley Sr., the famous former coach of St. Anthony High School in Jersey City, N.J., where his teams won 28 state championships and more than 1,000 games in 39 years. (That record was good enough to earn Hurley the 2017 ESPY for Best Coach at last week’s ESPY Awards.)

Hurley, one of just two people in the Basketball Hall of Fame who coached at the high school level, was accompanied at Kids Camp by a contingent that included former NBA coach Kevin Eastman, Kristin McDonnell, who coached Braintree High and Stonehill College, Alex Gallagher from Nobel and Greenough School, and Bentley’s Carolyn White.

Hurley, who’s the focus of Adrian Wojnarowski’s best-selling book, “The Miracle of St. Anthony: A Season With Coach Bob Hurley and Basketball’s Most Improbable Dynasty,’’ has two sons coaching college hoops: URI head coach Dan Hurley and Arizona State’s Bobby Hurley.
