Daily News | Jay Wright talked of his team’s “secret sauce” at Villanova’s graduation | Mike Jensen
It made sense, the Jay Wright era ending at Villanova University’s 179th commencement ceremony, class of 2022 inside the football stadium. Friday afternoon, before some rains came in, St. Augustine was quoted, “ever ancient, ever new.” A senior called graduating classmates “to be what you’re not yet.”
Wright had earned the praise, Jackson talking of foundational values at Villanova, how few have exemplified the values of dignity, humility, grace, gratitude, and charity, he said, “better than Jay Wright.” Mission accomplished, obviously. Wright’s last ‘Nova game might have been a loss, but it was at the Final Four.“No,” Wright said Friday, a couple of hours before his commencement address. “Not at all, nope, honestly. And I look for that.”
Name, image and likeness. Every big-time coach has to be thinking about wrinkles involved with that, the new NCAA landscape.“I’ve never done this before,” Wright said after confirming such dreams. “So I don’t know how long that lasts. But it’s a relief to wake up and realize it’s not my problem.”“Just watching Kyle and our guys, watching them has confirmed even more — I see an energy, an enthusiasm that I really like,” Wright said. “That makes me even confirm that I made the right decision.
