Brace yourself

Shaka and Tony Bennett to UW claims are coming.

Supposedly TB's new contract last spring has an enormous buyout except for one school...

Or some other reason...

I've heard this too, don't know how much I believe it, although it came from two different ITK people.

Goodnight Mr. Ryan, and all the ships at sea.

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

Barry joked at the press conference that if a bowl game was coming up, he coach, haha.

I'm not from WI, so maybe someone here can help me, but how the hell is Barry an AD at a place like UW. He seems like a relic, an AD from the 70s who's around to shake hands, kiss babies and tell old war stories. I get it, he built UW football, but I think the modern AD at a power program requires a bit more.

I doubt it. The whole point of that reworked contract was to keep him from UW.

I thought he looked pretty out of it during the marquette game. Not his usual Grinch self, not very animated and didn't argue hardly any calls.

They just beat TAMU Corpus Christi.

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

Yup. Forces the emperor to put Gard in as coach, at least for now.

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

His brand of basketball last year was unbelievable to watch. When he got the right players, it was beautiful. When he didn't have the right players, it was downright ugly.

Best coach Wisconsin ever had. Goes for all sports.

Terrible situation for Gard. Unless he wins immediately (and I can't see better than 9-9 in league, that might even be overly generous) he'll be let go. Does he get another shot right away? Might not be as easy for a guy who couldn't make it work as a HC versus a guy who was a hot young assistant.

Yes. You said it perfectly.

I don't know. Bob Johnson would get my vote.

MU Buff · « **Reply #37 on:** December 16, 2015, 01:01:26 AM »

He wants to set Gard up for success. If they have a winning record in the Big Ten it will be tough for Alvarez to hire someone else.

MarquetteDano · « **Reply #38 on:** December 16, 2015, 02:27:35 AM »

Bo arguing that he wanted to step down last year but Gard's dad was dying so didn't want Greg to have to deal with that and new coaching job. Now that Gard's father has died he has time to take the position (So Bo can leave).

To other's point, it is really about Gard. I will give Bo credit that he has a lot of loyalty to Gard. It Gard ends up being good for the program this looks great. If not, to me it seems like Gard > UW Program in Bo's eyes.

There may be more to this story than what currently meets the eye. I heard a rumor about this late last week and not willing to share it, but if true, makes this a very interesting story.

Andy Katz said the thing that pushed Bo into retirement was the MU lost.

Must have finally been offered the lead in the traveling road show musical version of the Grinch. Wiscy fans finally have karma come home to roost.

Honestly, I didn't see anything about this until this morning

So what's the dirt? If we can't speculate on UW rumors here, then what's the point of Scoop?

Yeah. Out with the conspiracy theories. The more lurid the better.
