    Keeping his decision and process completely under wraps to the point where it was a shock to literally everyone across all sports, partly for privacy and in order to keep the focus on the players, whilst graciously allowing Coach K have his time during his farewell tour, is probably one of the most Jay Wright things he’s ever done. Gonna miss you coach.

    Looking back at what Seth Greenberg said here, I think he’s spot on. With players now being incentivized they feel they have more power in terms of where they want to play, and they can just transfer to another school. Jay Wright is a no nonsense type coach and with the way he and the school keep things private, it would be way too stressful to manage this generation of players.
    Another question is is it a coincidence Roy Williams, Mike Krzyzewski, and Jay Wright all left in the past 2 years?

Cmon bro, they all doing it. Just like Ben Simmons going to LSU, like everyone knew that was a fraud deal, then it came out. James wiseman, Jalen Duren, and Emoni Bates going to Memphis, like they would ever do that without getting paid. And go figure Penny Hardaway got busted for it. It’s nothing new bro

      I think its a Bob Stoops situation...He accomplished all there is to do. He is richer than he ever imagined. He can sit back in the cut, and be just as powerful as he was coaching. He will get a Board Seat at Nova, prob a no-show highly paid gig, do some media, run some camps, do some consulting. Though 60 is young, its also old enough to say enough.
      He has given coaching 30-35 years of his life. Sometimes people are done, and want to move on.

      @@christianhutchinson4559 He doesn't need to chase anything either. He didn't make Nova but he took Nova to the next level of what it was. He didn't need more wins or more titles. But if he stayed 10-20 years more, who is to say he wouldn't have as many chips as any of the guys who just retired? I would be hard pressed to think that he wouldn't have at least 2 more and be considered the best even though with just 2 we can see he's already one of the best

      Nova is built on character guys. That’s a pretty low blow but at the same time with him leaving he should have had it set up basically like how unc and dook did it to make sure the program doesn’t slack off and if they already lost those recruits… then it already says a lot
