Jay Wright is enjoying retirement and won’t be the next head coach of the Knicks. And one of his former players is happy for him. “Man Thank You. Stay retired!” Knicks and former Villanova guard Josh Hart said on social media.

Former Villanova coach Jay Wright confirmed that he is not interested in the Knicks' head coaching vacancy and wishes to remain retired.

The Knicks are apparently targeting experienced NBA head coaches in their search. They're reportedly expected to request permission to interview Dallas Mavericks coach Jason Kidd. The Houston Rockets have already declined a similar inquiry regarding their coach, Ime Udoka.
