Maybe NBA, but I would guess ESPN.

I also thought HOF coaches had to have season long farewell tours to get their ego stroked.

Self alone at the top now. Sucks to see Wright go, always liked him.

Also makes me worry about a health issue or something.

Very quick announcement after season ended.

The media will try to pretend Izzo is on that level, but I don't think he is.

Good for him to leave the game before life outside of basketball passed him by and also not worrying about some pathetic farewell tour.

Well, this sucks. The only silver lining is that the tournament just got easier. I'm very surprised by this news.

Likely his last collegiate game will be a 16 point loss to Bill Self and Kansas.

what is the head to head? 5-4 Villanova? 2-2 in the tourney with the winner of that game winning the title each time?

I think it's 5-4.
He just wanted to retire with the best record against Self.
