Daily News | Jay Wright is too good for college basketball, and the NBA
Wright always hated to speak negatively but his eyes always betrayed him. Angled. Honest. True.
More about one-and-dones. More about name, image, and likeness negotiations. More about transfer portals and which player would enter the draft and when. When those topics arose, Wright’s eyes grew narrow, and squinty, and hard. Speak with him about defensive theory, pace, and transition defense, his eyes looked like George Clooney’s.
He probably knew, right then and there, that he might be done. A little more than a week later, after a loss in the national championship game, he was. He reportedly has hand-picked his successor, Fordham coach and longtime Wright assistant Kyle Neptune.“No one in the country better represented his school,” texted surprised Michigan assistant Phil Martelli, Wright’s former Big Five foe at St. Joseph’s.
