Daily News | Villanova salutes Jay Wright, who doesn’t miss coaching ‘at all’
. The Wildcats entered Wednesday night 10-13 overall and 4-8 in Big East play, threatening to miss the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2012. But Neptune’s job replacing Wright, the coach he learned under from 2013-21, has not been an easy one. Put aside replacing a legend, Villanova has not played a single game in 2022-23 with a healthy roster and played most of the season without its best player, Justin Moore.
“It’s like watching your son. My son is a high school coach, and I get the same feeling watching him struggle through tough times. As a parent, a big brother, you want to protect them from it, but you know they have to go through it. [Neptune] has handled it great. He’s had incredible injuries. He doesn’t need me to make excuses, and he doesn’t want me to.
“I’m enjoying that part of it,” Wright said. “I was trying to do an interview with Juwan and he’s like, ‘I’ve got three questions I want to ask you.’ This is the new Jay Wright. He wore a suit with no tie inside Finneran Pavilion on Wednesday night. A Villanova game was about an hour from tipping off, but Wright was all smiles, no longer burdened by wins, losses, and everything that comes with them.Wright isn’t the only one being honored Wednesday night. During halftime, Villanova also will retire the jersey of Jalen Brunson, the two-time national champion, 2018 National Player of the Year, and current New York Knicks star.
