Bo Ryan led Wisconsin to consecutive Final Four’s, bucking the trend of “it can’t be done” and had the Badgers Basketball program competing for national championships. Greg Gard (while doing okay in the regular season) has led the Badgers to a standard of 1st and 2nd round exits.
@IKE_Badgers Ignore Devin Harris and Bo’s first few years were average. Bo inherited a great roster. Gard not so much, particularly very young depth
@IKE_Badgers He gets next year and if they don't have a top 3 Big Ten Team next come February...its time to move on. The Paul Chryst Effect.
@IKE_Badgers They won the second trip. Coach K said at halftime he'd talk to the refs and he did. I stopped watching NCAA for years.
@IKE_Badgers Badgers need to start back channel chats with Shaka Smarts people
@IKE_Badgers Dick Bennett’s team also went to the final four…
@IKE_Badgers Bo Ryan led UW to the 1st of final 4's in his 13th year at UW. They lost in Rd 1/2 in 7 of the 12 seasons prior and only made the elite 8 once. The standards were pretty damn similar prior to year 13.
@IKE_Badgers Yes, he’s a loser in March and now all we can get to is the LOSERS tournament.
@IKE_Badgers Expecting every coach to equal or exceed what Bo Ryan did is diminishing Bo’s greatness.
