Daily News | Jay Wright is retiring from Villanova
Villanova coach Jay Wright waves to the fans after they beat North Carolina, 77-74, to win the NCAA championship on April 4, 2016.Jay Wright, who won two national championships at Villanova, guided the Wildcats to four Final Four appearances — including one earlier this month — and is arguably the greatest coach in Philadelphia college basketball history, is retiring from coaching, according to two sources with direct knowledge of the situation.
Over his 21 seasons at Villanova, Wright compiled a 520-197 record, winning eight Big East regular-season championships and five conference tournament titles.

The day before that Kansas loss, Wright had been asked, given that Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski already had announced that this season would be his last in coaching, whether he had given any thought to retiring.
