For the last ten years or so, if anyone had asked me who I would choose as our HC if I could steal any college coach in the country, my answer would have been Jay Wright without having to think about it.
IMO, he has been an exemplary standard bearer of excellence and good sportsmanship in college athletics. His teams play hard with a distinct style. He is one of very few college coaches who didn’t just stockpile talent, but targeted high level recruits who fit their style of play and stayed with the program for several years.
I just think the job he’s done at Villanova has been magnificent. He’s been all class his entire career and his exit is showing how the classy ones do it.
