Jay Wright

There has to be at least one college coach that teams look at, right? Why not make it the head coach who just won his second National Championship in three years.

Jay Wright has drawn interest from teams in the NBA, but he claims that he is happy where he is.

"“That challenge is appealing, but it’s not worth giving up working with these guys. The whole thing is, to take a new challenge you have to give up what you have. I don’t want to give up what I have. Would I like to coach in the NBA? Yes. But I have to give this up in order to do that, and I don’t see that happening.”"

Call me crazy, but that doesn’t seem like he is 100% sold on staying at Villanova. Wright coming off the National Championship will have many choices laid out in front of him. Steve Ballmer and the Clippers front office could entice him to leave college behind to work with a young team who could even draft one of his former players.

Wright will be a top candidate for many teams, but he likely will stay at the collegiate level. My top prospect though? Well…
