The Pi Brew
We’re back with a new Brew. Jay Wright is retiring from coaching. The 76ers lead their series against the Raptors. Are they serious contenders to win the NBA Championship? Will Ben Simmons be back on the court soon? There’s some big new albums about to drop. The Summer of Cena may return. We have a lot to get to, so let’s do this! It’s Brew time.
Jay Wright bombshell

Thank you, coach!
After 21 seasons as the leader of Villanova Men’s Basketball, Coach Wright announces his retirement.
Thank you, Coach, for everything you have done for our University, community & the game of basketball.
We are thrilled that you will continue to be a part of the VU community. pic.twitter.com/HGjitFaOUm

Never forget
nobody has ever been closer to the “cool guy walking away from an explosion” thing that happens in movies than Jay Wright saying “bang” and quietly walking away while his team won the national championship on a buzzer-beater pic.twitter.com/hVvaEEvdSR

The rise of Tyrese Maxey
“He’s the hardest worker in our gym,” Doc Rivers said. “We had to put blackout days in for him.”
How many players throughout his coaching career have forced Rivers to take that measure.
“Very few.”
