Villanova Basketball coaching staff changes: Jay Wright will promote George Halcovage, Mike Nardi

When he accepted his first head coaching job at Quinnipiac University, Baker Dunleavy didn’t take anyone with him from Villanova. Instead, he connected with another former Jay Wright deputy in Tom Pecora — who took over at Hofstra when Wright left and was last seen coaching the Fordham Rams — to serve as his top assistant.

Baker Dunleavy's staff will be: Tom Pecora (Fordham), Shaun Morris (Boston U), Anthony Goins (Yale).

That left Jay Wright with a single spot on his coaching staff to fill, and it seems that there won’t be any outside recruiting necessary.
