'GQ Jay has been replaced by Casual Jay,' writes jensenoffcampus. 'Villanova’s men’s basketball coach knows a lot of people miss him wearing the finest double-breasted suits, maybe silk woven into the inside of the jacket.'

Villanova’s men’s basketball coach knows a lot of people miss him wearing the finest double-breasted suits, maybe silk woven into the“Our president doesn’t like it,” Wright said Monday about the switch to wearing high-end workout gear during games. “He always is telling me he likes the suits.”

This Saturday against Kansas at the Final Four in New Orleans, don’t bet on GQ Jay reappearing. Wright said he appreciates that he is allowed to keep it casual. Wright said he was never trying to make a larger statement about his wardrobe, was always uncomfortable when he’d read someone online actually rating the ensemble.

It’s harder for me getting dressed this way than it was with a suit because we all have to match. He sends us pictures of the shirt, the pants, the shoes. … I have to match them up with my phone. The color, I can’t tell. I’m more nervous about what I wear now, that it’s the same as everybody else.
