Happy Tuesday Nova Nation! Jay Wright is the clear elder statesman of the Big East. Not only is he the conferences longest tenured active coach, he’s also the winningest. Wright comes into the week with four Big East Tournament Championships under his belt (or now waistband? Joggers huh?). No other active Big East coach has more than one (Cooley, Ewing, and Willard).
But talk about the Big East long enough and the conversation will at some point drift to the past and the icons that used to walk the sidelines. Trust me, Wright is paying no mind to his own legacy this week.
