I don't think Wright will ever leave Villanova because he has built something there over a long period of time.  He is coach for life there.  He will never have that level of institutional respect/support anywhere else that he has at Nova right now.  Big East is good enough to remain a "national" league of perceived quality at the top.  His track record ensures his teams, when good, are going to be taken seriously.

What does he gain at SU, except maybe a chance to compete with Duke and UNC and win another title or two against those guys.  Even at age 6o, he'd be a dozen years younger than Boeheim is right now, and if I got 10 years of Jay Wright after Boeheim, I would be freaking thrilled.

But I just don't see that happening.

We should be looking at someone in their late 30s to early 40s, with a couple good stints behind them as head coach, background as a good recruiter.  Good energy, relates to younger athletes, seems contemporary and dynamic.
