Just announced.

Announced where?

If so, that is the Grinchiest of moves--leave your team high and dry in the middle of the first year that you might not make the NCAA tournament. Par for the course, Bo.

Confirmed.

What a puss. I respect him but what!? Afraid to finish the season? Crazy!

Lol, the only way to keep that streak of top 4 finishes in the Big 10 in tact. Good riddance

Guy is 67 and in an extremely stressful job. I wouldn't call him a puss until we know there isn't healthy problems or family pushing him to retire.

So long, Grinch!

Who's taking over on an interim basis? Didn't we kinda predict this happening when it was clear they weren't going to just hire his anointed successor?

It was an honor to enjoy his final defeat!

Gard should kiss Bo's feet. The team was mediocre with Bo coaching, and now Gard gets a chance to work to improve Bucky. If they do anything at all in the BT, Gard gets all the credit and gets to keep the job. If they don't, he might not get to keep the job but his reputation isn't stained and maybe he'll get a head-coaching job elsewhere.

Last game coached was a loss to Marquette. So this is our fault, aina?

They just beat TAMU Corpus Christi.

This is 100% him making sure his guy is the coach.

But what a disservice to the students. I actually feel bad for them.

Exactly this.

#UnleashSean · « **Reply #13 on:** December 15, 2015, 10:57:50 PM »

Didn't he flip out on someone for leaving early? For not committing to the team for the full year?

Ah yes. And yes I totally agree. Gard will be the coach for 3 months. What's the point? To "give him a shot".

Or some other reason...

Screw that guy. AMF!

I really think this was the only way Gard was getting the job.

MUsoxfan · « **Reply #19 on:** December 15, 2015, 11:03:19 PM »

I like Bo. He's a good dude. I hate his brand of basketball, but I absolutely love that he stayed in the UW system for 40 years

I hope he's not ill

Cooby Snacks · « **Reply #20 on:** December 15, 2015, 11:04:17 PM »

At least we'll always have this from his last game.

Hards Alumni · « **Reply #21 on:** December 15, 2015, 11:04:38 PM »

Brace yourself

Shaka and Tony Bennett to UW claims are coming.

My first thought when I heard the news. UW is a young, inexperienced team that is gonna get better as the year goes on. And if they do, Gard will be kept.

There have been rumors of something going on behind the scenes. Anyone know anything about this?

Does Barry step in and coach the team for the rest of the year?
