Earlier this week, Forbes’ Adam Zagoria reported that Jay Wright of Villanova would have “strong interest” in coaching the New York Knicks, but there are multiple reports pushing back against this notion.
An NCAA source told SNY’s Ian Begley that Wright would need to be “overwhelmed by the opportunity” to leave for the Knicks, or any other job for that matter. In addition to Begley’s reporting, The Athletic’s Dana O’Neil reports that Wright isn’t going anywhere.
It’s also worth noting that interim head coach Mike Miller is doing a commendable job after taking over a 4-18 team from David Fizdale.
