Bucknell University graduate in Final Four Former Bison point guard coaches Villanova into spotlight By William BowmanThe Daily Item He led the Pride to two NCAA appearances, earning America East Coach of the Year honors twice. He then took over at Villanova in 2001 and has a 178-90 mark on the Main Line, including a school-record 30 wins this season.
While Wright's court accolades are certainly noteworthy, perhaps most impressive is that every player who has spent four years with Wright at either Hofstra or Villanova has earned a degree. "He was a Philly kid who really knew the game," Thompson remembers. "He was really into that Big 5 stuff. He wanted to go to Villanova, but wasn't sure if he could play there, so he came to Bucknell. It was the right decision." n E-mail comments to bbowman@daily item.com
