Mike Brey stepping down at season’s end

[butchna]

Oh, I'm sure Brey's being forced out (at least kind of) because he's had only 2 good seasons in about the last 7-8 years. I was just responding to your Mt Rushmore of good coaches who stepped away early, and on their own terms question.

He’s obviously not a good coach. So keep him off my mountain.

Don’t see where I demanded he account for his actions to me personally. Happy fishing!

Didn't say you did. Just stating where I would be mentally after a long career.

FTR, buying a duck hunting property would probably be priority #1.

That’s not true. At UCLA alone he coached 27 years. All together he was a HC for 42 years. Jay Wright coached Villanova for 21 years. I think he put in plenty of time. My point was, I’m not convinced he’s done with coaching not even one year out.

Well if you want to include high school coaching then yes that’s 42 years. Only 29 years at the collegiate level. 2 at Indiana St and the rest at UCLA.

Jay Wright coached at Hofstra before Villanova. 28 years at the collegiate level altogether. If you want to include his assistant jobs then he had 38 years in the coaching business. 38 years is a long time to be in that business. I’m sure he was ready.

ND seems like it would be a really good baskeball job. Am I crazy?

Chicago kids/midwest kids in your backyard and it's a national brand.

Wooden never served as an assistant but your point is valid. Mine is that I’m not convinced Wright is truly done. If he is, his case example wasn’t this subject anyway.

That will be a very attractive coaching vacancy this off season.
