Will the Suns be able to persuade Jay Wright to leave his perch at Villanova two years later?

The last time Villanova won a National Championship in 2016, the Phoenix Suns came calling for head coach Jay Wright’s services. After he swiftly declined, Phoenix settled on their interim option Earl Watson who put together a poor track record during his tenure replacing Jeff Horancek.

Two years later, Wright did it again. And this time, it was in even grander fashion.

Not only did the Villanova Wildcats cruise to another championship, they utterly dominated all competition. Outside of Texas Tech’s stifling defense causing Wright to change his modern scheme up just a tad in a nip-and-tuck contest, it was a showcase to all NBA teams with possible openings how innovative he truly is.
