Jay Wright knows John Beilein well: “Greatest guy in the world”

Villanova head coach Jay Wright had his press conference earlier today, where he provided plenty of candid answers. A couple of which shed light on the relationship he and Michigan head coach John Beilein have.

Wright and Beilein know each other well, they’ve been friends for decades. Their wives are friends as well, as they were tennis partners when Beilein coached at West Virginia in the Big East while Wright was the coach of Villanova.

As the old saying goes, “you are who your friends are,” and this appears to be the case when it comes to Wright and Beilein.
