From Georgetown to Bishop Ireton: Chris Wright’s Basketball Journey | NOVA Legends®

On today’s episode of the NOVA Legends Podcast, I’m joined by newly appointed Bishop Ireton head coach Chris Wright to discuss his new opportunity and his remarkable basketball journey.Coach Wright grew up in Bowie before starring at St. John’s and Georgetown, where he played under John Thompson III and helped lead the Hoyas at the highest level of college basketball. He then went on to a professional career that took him across Europe, the Middle East, and South America.We talk about the lessons he learned along the way—from elite coaches and from competing against and studying players like Allen Iverson, Steph Curry, and Kobe Bryant. Coach Wright is a thoughtful, insightful voice on the game, and this conversation goes well beyond basketball into mindset, growth, and leadership.It’s a fascinating and enjoyable hour—and it’s clear Bishop Ireton is in very good hands.
