Jay Wright: Ohio State HC Would Be 'Great Job' But I'm 'Definitely Done Coaching'

Former Villanova men's basketball head coach Jay Wright does not plan to come out of retirement, even for a chance to replace Chris Holtmann at Ohio State.

"It's a great job," Wright said, per Adam Jardy of the Columbus Dispatch. "It has an outstanding athletic department, great tradition and fertile recruiting ground. It would be a great job, but I'm definitely done coaching."

Wright retired as head coach of the Wildcats in 2022.

Ohio State will need to find another candidate to replace Holtmann, who was fired on Feb. 14 during his seventh season with the Buckeyes.
