No surprise here. Well-deserved, and congrats to Jay.

In his speech, he should thank ESPN for breaking up the old Big East.

Without that...

Semi-related note - the hoop hall of fame does itself no favors by shoveling huge numbers of inductees in the way they sometimes do. It’s like winning a Rotary club award.

There was zero doubt in my mind he was going to the Hall one day. However never thought it would be this quick.

Wright will be 60 when he gets inducted. Boeheim was 61 and Calhoun was 63.

Some of the people in there make me think it’s the Hall of Longevity. It’s becoming a joke

I can’t believe Jay Wright is almost 60.

 

[QDOG5]

I can't believe I'M ALMOST 60.

 

[uconnfan68]

I can't believe I'M ALMOST 60.

I wish I was only 60.

 

[boba]

I wish I was only 60.

Oh to be 60 again... ?!

 

[Horatio]

The thing is, he just doesn’t seem or look that old

 

[Kathy]

The thing is, he just doesn’t seem or look that old

60 isn't old

 

[HooperScooper]

60 isn't old

It is if you're 25.

 

[gtcam]

As Fishy said - if there still was the OBE - no chance he sniffs the front door
It seems that if you win one NC you will eventually end up in Springfield
But, that being said, he took advantage of the situation and he is a good coach
Congrats Jay Wright

Look closer.........

If you're 25, you'll blink soon and realize Kathy was right. Right about the same time you ask for her help/advice.
