Jay Wright officially retired as head coach of the Villanova's men's basketball team during a press conference Friday where he fought back tears, reflected on his time on the Main Line campus and was hopeful of the future of the program.

"This is kind of a strange day," Wright said, mentioning this would be his final sports press conference with "hoops in the house."

"What Patty and I want this to be is the next step in Villanova basketball history, the next step in the Villanova program," Wright said. "The greatest thing for us has always been just to be the coach at Villanova."

The tearful coach added, "Accolades or winning games is not as big as just being the coach at Villanova."
