IU Scott Posted April 20, 2022 Report Share Posted April 20, 2022 30 minutes ago, Seeking6 said: Jay Wright stepping down at Villanova. No clue why. Either a health issue, personal issue....or maybe he wants that one chance in the NBA?? Weird for sure. What a shocker, hope everything is alright with him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted April 20, 2022 Report Share Posted April 20, 2022 Maybe these older coaches are fed up with how college basketball is heading and want to know part of it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobSaccamanno Posted April 20, 2022 Report Share Posted April 20, 2022 Very surprised. And it is very difficult to replace an elite coach. It requires extremely high caliber management. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is young enough, and appears to be healthy enough to enjoy a long retirement with his wife, maybe grandkids. I also see the changing landscape of college athletics, with NIL and the transfer portal causing multiple coaches like him to reevaluate whether they want to continue Agree with all this, plus some people just want to retire/do something less stressful at a younger age. Absolutely nothing wrong with that, we are all wired differently. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the portal has sent several coaches to an early retirement. Your work more than doubles because you are constantly recruiting not just HS but the portal and then even your own guys. Suddenly the power switches from coach to players and that has to be a huge adjustment. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes more sense to me...a guy with Wright's resume wouldn't want to be below certain players in the pecking order... Plus, as Dick Vitale has always said, he'd be undefeated as a TV analyst... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaybobHoosier Posted April 21, 2022 Report Share Posted April 21, 2022 Congrats to Coach Wright and to his success. He’s always been my top coaching preference since before Crean took over. Ran a great program and knew how to get the most out of his team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won the bubble championship but are poorly managed anymore. Edited April 21, 2022 by Hoosier51 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
