Bo Ryan to retire in 1 year

[Dingus]

Bo Ryan says he will coach 1 more year and then retire. Expectedly hopes UW hires Greg Gard as his replacement, but we'll see (or even if he does retire after this year).

Could be a golden opportunity to get Wisconsin kids; Antentenoumpo et al. Hope TJ is ready and comfortable in Ames!

Good news for the rest of the Big 10.

Time to do some work in Wisconsin TJ.

Big respect for Bo, especially growing up in WI and rooting for them as a kid, hope he finishes strong but can't wait to start pillaging their recruiting grounds :smile:

Used to really admire Bo until his post-game presser after losing to Duke...

Just curious after seeing a handful of teams announce their successor before the coach retiring... Isn't there some legal requirement to carry out a equal and fair coaching search to fill a vacant position, or does that not apply in case of a retirement and then someone getting promoted?

I hope they promote from within. "Doing it the right way" rather than bringing in a transfer

That's why they worded it as Bo's hope that he gets the job. If the AD came out and said that's what's happening then there may be an issue.

I am mildly surprised it wasn't effective immediately.

Madison has a strong hoops culture in place and great fan support. however its an absolutely critical hire- much moreso than football- because it takes a special coach to win with this system and keep fans engaged. people still remember Steve Yoder.

That's true, but didn't Syracuse name assistant Mike Hopkins the "Head Coach Designate" and didn't Kevin Ollie essentially just get promoted, though?

All your recruits are belong to us.

Yep Bo is a *****. It amazes me how many people were ticked off by Calipari's ND post game comments, but the same people fail to mention Bo's post game presser.

Be careful what you wish for. #ChrisAsh

So Bo promised TJ the head coaching job when he retires so that's why TJ didn't get the HC job here?

Conspiracy!

Why would a hok fan care about Wisconsin?

 

[Clonefan94]

Prohm to Wisky?

 

[cyclones500]

If Greg Gard is the successor, I wonder how many times the headline "Changing of the Gard" will be used during transition period.

Can't they just promote Gard to HC and demote Bo (in title only) to an assistant? He then retires and Gard fills the assistant coach job after a job search...

TJ to Wisky?
