It's easy for everyone to picture.
Jay Wright on the sideline, coaching Jalen Brunson and Mikal Bridges and Josh Hart. Where have we seen that movie before?
Wright's name popped up almost immediately after the New York Knicks dismissed head coach Tom Thibodeau on Tuesday. It'd be a chance for Wright to reunite with some of the best players he coached at Villanova.
Seth Davis, who knows Wright well after three years working side-by-side on television with the legendary coach, thinks it's time to pump the brakes on that, though.
Here's what Wright posted on Tuesday afternoon:
I have been working with Jay Wright on TV for three years. Based on every conversation we have had I would say there is a greater chance that I will be the next Knicks coach than him. The difference is if they call me I will say yes.

Well, there you have it. If the Knicks want a quick hiring process, they should just call Davis.

In all seriousness, Wright left coaching for a much cushier TV gig that allows him ample time to pursue other interests. Would he want the craziness that is coaching the Knicks in New York City?
Wright could surely handle it, but if he's not interested, then there's nothing more to it.
That won't stop Knicks fans, and the 'Nova Knicks players, from wishing for a Wright return.
