The Best Unknown Coach in America: Villanova's Jay Wright

I think that Nova will pick off a less than dominant one seeded Pitt team today and join UConn in the Final Four. Part of the reason is their dynamic and dynamite 47 year old coach, Jay Wright. Known for his stellar suits and for always seeming to have three or four terrific guards, Wright has built the most underrated program in America. This is his second trip to the Elite Eight in the last five years, and Nova seems to be a constant in the round of 16.

Good for him and good for Villanova, a small school located in Philadelphia without a big time football team to syphen revenue from. Now that St. Johns is a lower echelon Big East program, Nova is the best of the old school basketball programs in the conference.

And with a terrific recruiting class coming in next year to replace one of the best senior classes in school history, Villanova and Jay Wright should continue their roll.
