Jay Wright (basketball)

Jerold Taylor "Jay" Wright, Jr. (born December 24, 1961) is an American college basketball coach. He is currently the men's coach at Villanova University. He was born in Churchville, Pennsylvania and is married to a former Villanova cheerleader.

Biography

Education

Wright is a graduate of Council Rock High School North in Newtown, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. He graduated from Bucknell University, in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, in 1983, where he played on the basketball team and became a Brother of the Sigma Chi fraternity.

Coaching career

Early coaching career

Upon graduating from college, Wright got his first job as an assistant coach at Division III University of Rochester. In 1986, he got his first position in Division I college basketball as an assistant coach at Drexel University. His next job came as an assistant to Rollie Massimino at Villanova, where he remained from 1987–1992. In 1992, he moved with Massimino to UNLV, where he remained until 1994.

Hofstra

In 1994, Wright was named head coach at Hofstra University, which had struggled through most of the 1980s and early 90's. Under Wright, the program slowly and steadily improved, and by 1999 the Pride were a premier team in the America East Conference. They won the conference championship in 2000 and 2001, and from 1999–2001, went 72–22, including two NCAA tournament appearances. Wright was named America East Coach of the Year in 1999–2000 and 2000–2001. He was also tabbed Eastern Basketball's Coach of the Year in 1999–2000.

Jay Wright

Jay Wright may refer to:

  • Jay Wright (basketball) (born 1961), basketball coach
  • Jay Wright (poet) (born 1935), winner of the 2005 Bollingen Prize


  • Jay Wright (poet)

    Jay Wright (born May 25, 1935) is an African-American poet, playwright, and essayist. Born in Albuquerque, New Mexico, he currently lives in Bradford, Vermont. Although his work is not as widely known as other American poets of his generation, it has received considerable critical acclaim. Wright's work is emblematic of what the Guyanese-British writer Wilson Harris has termed the "cross-cultural imagination." Following his receiving the Bollingen Prize in Poetry in 2005, Wright is recognized as one of the principal contributors to poetry in the early 21st century.

    Career

    Before embarking on his writing career, Wright played professional baseball, mostly with the Mexicali Eagles of the Arizona-Texas League, and the Fresno Cardinals of the California League.

    After his baseball career, Wright studied comparative literature at the University of California, Berkeley, and Rutgers University. In the 1960s, he befriended fellow African-American author Henry Dumas and later wrote the introduction to Dumas's Play Ebony, Play Ivory: Poetry.

I still feel half drunk, And all those old women beyond my window Are hunching toward the graveyard. Drunk, mumbling Hungarian, The sun staggers in, And his big stupid face pitches Into the stove. For two hours I have been dreaming Of green butterflies searching for diamonds In coal seams; And children chasing each other for a game Through the hills of fresh graves. But the sun ha...

    TWO HANGOVERS by James Wright Number One I slouch in bed. Beyond the streaked trees of my window, All groves are bare. Locusts and poplars change to unmarried women Sorting slate from anthracite Between railroad ties: The yellow-bearded winter of the depression Is still alive somewhere, an old man Counting his collection of bottle caps In a tarpaper shack under the cold trees Of my grave. I still feel half drunk, And all those old women beyond my window Are hunching toward the graveyard. Drunk, mumbling Hungarian, The sun staggers in, And his big stupid face pitches Into the stove. For two hours I have been dreaming Of green butterflies searching for diamonds In coal seams; And children chasing each other for a game Through the hills of fresh graves. But the sun has come home drunk from the sea, And a sparrow outside Sings of the Hanna Coal Co. and the dead moon. The filaments of cold light bulbs tremble In music like delicate birds. Ah, turn it off. Number Two: I try to waken and greet the world once again. In a pine tree, A few yards away from my window sill, A brilliant blue jay is springing up and down, up and down, On a branch. I laugh, as I see him abandon himself To entire delight, for he knows as well as I do That the branch will not break.

    Ted Hughes Award-winning poet Jay Bernard performs their poem ‘Bras’ at #PenguinPride Live in Brighton. In ‘Bras’, Jay Bernard plays with the softness of the vocabulary around breasts and lingerie, and the tension of growing up gender-non-conforming with a female body.

    Jay Wright (basketball)

    Jerold Taylor "Jay" Wright, Jr. (born December 24, 1961) is an American college basketball coach. He is currently the men's coach at Villanova University. He was born in Churchville, Pennsylvania and is married to a former Villanova cheerleader.

    Biography

    Education

    Wright is a graduate of Council Rock High School North in Newtown, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. He graduated from Bucknell University, in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, in 1983, where he played on the basketball team and became a Brother of the Sigma Chi fraternity.

    Coaching career

    Early coaching career

    Upon graduating from college, Wright got his first job as an assistant coach at Division III University of Rochester. In 1986, he got his first position in Division I college basketball as an assistant coach at Drexel University. His next job came as an assistant to Rollie Massimino at Villanova, where he remained from 1987–1992. In 1992, he moved with Massimino to UNLV, where he remained until 1994.

    Hofstra

    In 1994, Wright was named head coach at Hofstra University, which had struggled through most of the 1980s and early 90's. Under Wright, the program slowly and steadily improved, and by 1999 the Pride were a premier team in the America East Conference. They won the conference championship in 2000 and 2001, and from 1999–2001, went 72–22, including two NCAA tournament appearances. Wright was named America East Coach of the Year in 1999–2000 and 2000–2001. He was also tabbed Eastern Basketball's Coach of the Year in 1999–2000.
