I don’t know what this is. I didn’t know Mike Shh-shef-sky hosted a radio show on Sirius XM.
But here we are, with Villanova head coach and Kyle Scott man-crush Jay Wright hopping on “Basketball and Beyond with Coach K.” Wright was a bit choked up talking about the departure of Big Five brother Phil Martelli from St. Joe’s:

“I’m really shocked.”
Well, I think it was time for new blood. That’s my opinion as an outsider.
FYI Jay Wright was 14-4 against Phil Martelli and won seven Holy War games in a row.
