Sharper dresser: Coach K or Coach Jay?

Jeff Capel, Rick Pitino, and Jay Wright all have more than one thing in common.  All three of them have their teams in this week's sweet 16.  And all three are known as superb dressers.

Coach Mike Krzyzewski might be one of the greatest college coaches of all time.  After all, he has his team in the sweet 16 for the tenth time in 12 years.  But Villanova's Jay Wright is commonly regarded for his slick style.

Wright was a guest with Erik Kuselias and Mike Golic on Mike and Mike in the morning on 99.9 The Fan ESPN Radio on Wednesday.  Kuselias joked with him about the most important aspect of the game, who will have the better suit?

"You sound like (Bob) Picozzi (show's producer), he doesn't care if we win or lose all he tells me is 'you can't let Coach K out dress you, you got a reputation'," Wright joked. "You gotta send a message to him, you gotta tell him I'm much more concerned with our guards taking care of the ball than what kind of suit I've got on."

Golic then asked him if he would wear a Bill Belichick hoody if it meant a win.

"Exactly, I'll wear a sweatsuit."

The day Wright wears a sweatsuit to a game or looks a shade under 100 bucks is the day Boston College's Al Skinner wears a tuxedo to a game.

The authority on fashion has spoken. All hail BDR. Yes, Rose, I can see how difficult it is to wear a funeral director's suit to each game. Point taken. Boy you really showed us.

Good point Tarheel Turtle... Everyone knows that you can't beat a good quality Hickey Freeman suit. Hickey Freeman suits available at Nowell's, Norman Stockton and other fine retailers.

Everyone knows Roy is the Best Dressed coach. Fashion forward, beautiful fabrics and patterns. What's so difficult about a dark suit? "Unnnnn, I don't know Mickie, what color tie goes with black?"
