Sixers head coach candidate profile: Jay Wright
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- After firing Doc Rivers following another second-round
playoff exit, the Sixers are in the running for a new head coach.
With several big-name NBA coaches being ousted recently, there's no shortage
of candidates for the Sixers to consider.
But in our series of profiles of potential coaches to replace Rivers, let's
start with one Philadelphia fans know and love: Former Villanova men's
basketball coach Jay Wright.
Who is Jay Wright?
Wright, 61, is a Churchville, Bucks County, native, just about 30 miles north
of Philadelphia.
Wright coached at several stops in college, but he's known most for turning
Villanova into one of the premier basketball programs in the country in his
21 years at the helm.
Wright won two national championships at Villanova -- 2016 and 2018 -- and
had a total of four Final Four appearances. He was named AP's Coach of the
Decade in the 2010s, inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame and
he was an assistant coach for the United States during the Olympic Games in
Tokyo in 2020.
Overall, Wright had a 642-282 record in college and went 34-16 in
tournaments. He won five Big East Tournaments at 'Nova and earned the
conference's Coach of the Year award six times.
After an incredible run to the Final Four in 2022, Wright unexpectedly
retired from coaching. He's now a college basketball analyst with CBS/Turner
Sports. He's also the special assistant to the president at Villanova.
Does it make sense?
For basketball reasons, it would make sense for the Sixers to at least reach
out to Wright about the job, especially given his success. What's the worst
that could happen?
But, Wright is definitely a long shot to get hired compared to other
candidates with NBA experience.
Wright told The Athletic in 2018 that the NBA "does intrigue me." But he
would never leave Villanova to make the jump.
After he retired, he appeared on the "Keyshawn, JWill & Max Show" and
discussed potentially making the jump from college to the pros.
"Right now I definitely need a break," Wright said in 2022, via SI.com.
"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."
Wright has never coached in the NBA before. His only experience coaching pros
was during the Olympics as an assistant in 2020.
But, maybe the opportunity to coach reigning MVP Joel Embiid, possibly James
Harden, Tyrese Maxey and others could get Wright to take a stab at the NBA.
