Jay Wright Retiring?

[UofCT]

Nevermind lol

This can’t be true. Who is this guy?

 

[Ts5034]

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.

Honestly, Im a little bummed that Wright is leaving. That is a huge loss for the Big East and college basketball. It’s just surprising how sudden it is. I hope everything is OK with his health.

Fordham coach, says in the tweet

 

[6xChamps]

Kimani to Fordham makes a ton of sense unfortunately

 

[Pgh2Storrs]

Nova and the league will be fine. Yes, it hurts to lose a HOF coach but they aren’t going to fall off a plateau. If anything, this means the league is going to be even more fun as it’s not going to be “Villanova and then everyone else”

This can’t be true. Who is this guy?

He was a Nova assistant from 2013-2021 before taking the Fordham job

Assistant at Nova for 8 years before he took the Fordham job. Think Kimani at UConn

 

[HuskyHawk]

Seems like It’s real.

 

[auror]

Wild.

 

[whosurdaddy2720]

He’ll be coaching Duke in three years after Scheyer flames out.

Book it.

 

[Marat]

Just wow type of shocker.

 

[NowInStorrs]

Fordham coach, says in the tweet

Nova assistant for 8 years. 1 year at Fordham. Took them from 2-12 to 16-16.

 

[Scoe]

Wow this one definetly came out of left field.

 

[UConnSwag11]

Syracuse can scratch him off their list to replace Boeheim

 

[UConnSwag11]

Hopefully it’s not because of something serious behind the scenes.

Big blow to the league.

 

[kobe]

he sees the writing on the wall. has done all he can do in a mid-major league that has no upside or future.

salute to you jay wright!

 

[CallMeBruce]

Trying to make sense of this and most of the options are bad.

 

[jdb50]

Good for Jay that he is making this decision and it is not due to bad health. I am another that watches these coaches who can't possibly retire but have to keep trying to win another one. Boeheim is basically telling Cuse he is the one in control and he goes when he says he does. They really look pathetic as time goes by and they are heading to 70 yo or more.

 

[MDHuskFan]

Is it too soon to ask about Cam Whitmore?

 

[UofCT]

He was a Nova assistant from 2013-2021 before taking the Fordham job

Got it!

 

[UCDaveD]

Hearing he’s headed to Overtime Elite.

 

[huskyfan224]

Time to reach out to Nova recruits

Could it be that he has been doing it a long time, doesn’t need to do it any more, and wants to go out with a Final Four and Gillespie, one of his favorites he ever coached?

Kudos to him if so. I hope it’s not anything bad.

My buddy hadn't heard of this but his response was "Lakers?" He's going to reach out to his brother in law and get the scoop.
