In an appearance on ESPN’s Keyshawn, JWill & Max Show on Tuesday, recently-retired coach Jay Wright was asked about potentially coaching in the NBA. Wright didn’t dismiss the scenario.
“Right now I definitely need a break,” Wright said Tuesday. “Right now I’m looking forward to this [special assistant] position at Villanova. But honestly, down the road, I’d be lying – I don’t know what I’m going to feel like.”
The former Villanova coach appears to be leaving the door open for coaching in the NBA. Wright, 60, announced his retirement Wednesday after 21 seasons at Villanova where he won national championships in both 2016 and 2018.
