The most handsome coach in all of NCAA (Brad Stevens is the NBA now ladies), Clooney is the obvious leading man of this film. With his slick ties, tight suits and witty banter, Jay Wright should be right in Clooney’s wheelhouse.
Jay Wright’s Wife, Patty
Played by: Maura Tierney
Paired with her former ER costar, Clooney, Tierney makes a natural choice for Patty Wright. After coming up just short for years of the Final Four, her husband and his Nova team finally have made it to the promised land. By Wright’s side the entire time has been Patty and you’ll see how Nova’s constant underperforming and early tournament exists affect Patty, just as much as Jay.
