Jay Wright has informed the New York Knicks that he’s not interested in any coaching position with the club and plans to remain retired, the former Villanova head coach told Seth Davis of Hoops HQ.
Wright discussed the Knicks’ head coaching gig briefly with Leon Rose – the team’s president of basketball operations – but was never offered the job or asked to interview for the position, Davis added.
Wright shockingly retired in 2022 after guiding the Wildcats to a pair of national titles over 21 years at the helm. He also won eight Big East regular-season titles, five Big East Tournament crowns, and a pair of Naismith College Coach of the Year awards during his tenure.
