Report: Villanova's Jay Wright Likely to Retire; Kyle Neptune Expected to Replace HC

One of the most prominent figures in all of college basketball is reportedly on the verge of stepping down this offseason.

Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium reported Wednesday that Villanova head coach Jay Wright is "likely retiring," which "means a succession plan is in order for the university." Charania noted the 60-year-old coach was meeting with his family while he goes over his options.

Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports confirmed that Wright is expected to step down.

Wright has been on the sidelines for Villanova since the 2001-02 season and has led the program to two NCAA championships (2016 and 2018).
