Villanova men’s basketball coach Jay Wright officially announced his retirement Wednesday.
“Over the past 21 seasons, I have had the opportunity to live out a professional dream as the head coach at Villanova,” Wright said in a statement. “Patty and I have been blessed to work with incredible, gifted young men who allowed us to coach them and brought us unmatched joy. We cannot overstate our gratitude to the players, coaches and administrators who have been with us on this path.”
Wright has had an exceptional run at Villanova that included 16 NCAA Tournaments, eight Big East regular season titles, four Final Four appearances and two National Championships.
