Jay Wright is quitting his full time position as a college basketball analyst. That is the final chapter in another section of his Hall of Fame career that has led him off the benches to the studios.
Thursday, the former head coach of Villanova announced that he is no longer going to work full-time with CBS Sports and TNT Sports. This is his position since he ceased to coach in 2022.
At the age of 63, Wright soon became one of the most popular television voices when she transferred to CBS and TNT. He appeared often on television programs that aired NCAA March Madness, and provided the same relaxed, accurate and thorough examination of games that put his coaching career in the spotlight.
David Berson, President and CEO of CBS Sports referred to Wright as a Hall of Fame coach and a Hall of Fame person. Berson also approved that Wright will continue to make infrequent appearances on coverage in the future.
Many will know Wright best by what he did at the time others were watching. He spent 21 years at Villanova and made the Wildcats a national force. They have won two NCAA championships (2016 and 2018), four Final Fours and eight Big East regular-season titles. He retired with 642 victories in his career. He was enrolled into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2021.
Since then, Wright has taken up his position as an administrator at Villanova and he also does his job on national TV. He explained that he could devote more time to his family and his work in the university should he quit broadcasting.
This may not be the last farewell as Wright will continue to contribute part time but it is the end of his fulltime stint on TV.
His career as a broadcaster was characterized by clarity, class, and love of the game as it was the case with his career as a teacher.
