Jay Wright Retiring?

NDakotaHusky said:
Love it. Not because his retirement would strengthen our position. It would do the opposite. It would weaken the league and thus hurt us. I love it when work doesn't control someone's life. I don't like watching these coaches stick around until they are almost 80. I wish they had other things going on. Something else they want to do while they are on this planet. You only live once.

I hope there aren't health issues involved.
 
I doubt he'll go to the NBA and if he does it wont be the Lakers.

I was told by someone who was friends with his wife (a woman I briefly dated not quite five years ago) that he promised his better half that he would only live in Philly or NY.

If the Nets or 76ers job opens up, ascboth teams are built for a run, he may be tempted there but there will still be a strong likelyhood that he'll decline the opportunity to coach that many egos.

Probably. One with minimal travel. Could see him covering the Big East tournament Cannot seeing him taking a TV deal where he doesn’t have absolute control over when and where he works.

He would be paid millions to a ”Wright-cast” from his basement.

Or he just got Thibodeux fired.

I have one person who should have some level of knowledge of situation saying it may be health issues with family.

He’s evidently a huge Jersey Shore fan and has a house there. Tweets about it all the time. Not sure he’d be there in winter, but I think he could sign with Fox, do Nova. SH, SJ and Rutgers home games plus BET and some of that from home stuff.

Calhoun, Pitino, Wright, Thompson

Calhoun with UConn is the #1 program building job, ever. To turn a rinky dink regional school into an elite national program with expectations along side Duke, North Carolina, Kentucky, UCLA, and Kansas is nothing short of amazing.

Moving along to more recent years, Jay Wright, IMO, has been the best coach in America, no disrespect to Coach K, Roy Williams, Bill Self, or John Calipari. His team was like the New England Patriots on the hardwood with the robotic and even keeled way they conducted themselves. They just never got rattled in pressure packed situations.

Was on campus at Villanova today.

I feel like I played a part in Wright retiring.

LMFAO :D

Get to Storrs and play a part in more high level transfers committing to UConn ;)

My hatred of the Main Line makes it impossible for me to like Villanova, but what Wright built there over his 20+ years was impressive. Neptune was involved in recruiting most of the roster, which should help the transition.

I was a wrong side of the tracks guy myself

I will be there Friday and Saturday. (Seriously)

We’ll see if Boeheim is still employed on Sunday.

I'm pretty confident that we want Boeheim coaching Syracuse until it's a weekend at Bernie's situation.

Send the wife & daughter and spend the weekend home eating lobster rolls.

Same info from a couple Nova grad friends, but they are getting it second hand also.

How does it compare to Conn College?
 
Know a guy that knows him pretty well and he said no way he goes to the NBA. Coaching the Olympics totally soured him on the league. My friend does not know why he is retiring but he says Wright and the Nova administration don’t always get along and thinks Wright may have had enough

Guy has a family. Just has his priorities straight. Why deal with the madness of coaching, especially now with NIL and the portal, when you can comfortably retire with your family?

100% +. Well said. Man so much more respect for him now. It was already high.
