Jay Wright Retiring?

[FfldCntyFan]

Or he just got Thibodeux fired.

I think he's far too intelligent to get involved in the mess that the Knicks are and have been for two decades (and I'm a Knicks fan from the late 1960s).

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

Hell of a coach, built a quality program the Wright way. Leaving at the top.

 

[HuskyHawk]

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

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, Samson Johnson and Rutgers home games plus BET and some of that from home stuff.

Mount Rushmore of Big East Coaches. Go

Calhoun, Pitino, Wright, Thompson

 

[Dogman69]

In classic Providence fan fashion they are jacked up about Jay Wright leaving. What a bunch of clowns

It's understandable. They are still on their sugar high.

Calhoun, Wright, Thompson, Gavitt

Was on campus at Villanova today.

I feel like I played a part in Wright retiring.

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.

LMFAO

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

You might be able to convince a desperate Syracuse fan to give you a lot of money to step foot on to their campus…

I will be there Friday and Saturday. (Seriously)

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

Maybe don't go then. He should stay there forever

 

[Austin316]

First time maybe? He’s probably just a little paranoid. Hell be coach tomorrow (4/21).

 

[hookshot]

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'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.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

I like this slant:



He ain’t going out like Coach K, that’s for sure.

 

[M.S.G.]

moment this hit… my buddy who (knows things) said.. oh he can spend more time with his Nova soccer player girlfriend now…

Yikes

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

 

[BLUEDOGHOUSE]

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.

Be careful in the crosswalks

Put $50M aside in the bank and go out when you want to on your terms. Enjoy life.
