Daily News | Kyle Neptune isn’t feeling the heat about succeeding Jay Wright at Villanova. Yet. | Mike Sielski
, much of the job feels familiar to him. He knows most everybody, and most everybody knows him. On the wall behind his office desk hung five photos of him: with his family, with Wright, with Joe Girardi — from the night Neptune and Wright threw out ceremonial first pitches at a Phillies game. Near a conference table were five souvenir folding chairs from Villanova’s recent Final Four appearances.
The early part was always going to be the easy part for Neptune, though. He can be the same person, the same coach, now that he was when he was one of Wright’s assistants: can talk to everyone the same way he once did, the same way he always has. “I’m saying the same things now that I was saying to our players back then,” he said. “The core values haven’t changed, and they’re not going to.”
“I don’t feel the pressure to emulate him, except for the core principles of the program,” he said. “I’m going to be myself. I can’t be anyone else. I’m just not thinking that way.
