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

Here's the announcement.

-
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.

Exactly this.

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".

Screw that guy. AMF!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

Genius move on Bo's part. Wasn't gonna win the Gard pissin' scrum with Sir Barry. So, he figured he'd paint Alvarez inta a corner where he had no choice but ta hire Gard. His interim status is essentially a workin' interview, ai na?

While certainly Bo's objective, I don't think Barry is in a corner at all. He'll do a comprehensive search.

Right, he probably had this planned all along. There is obviously a pissing match going on between Bo and Barry. Except this will probably back fire on Bo and Gard because Alvarez isn’t going to let them get their way no matter what Gard does. On top of that Wisconsin sucks this year so Bo set up Gard for failure.
-
How many transfers are we going to see? If I were a player at UW-Madison I'd be pissed. I didn't sign up for a losing team with a no-name coach.

Maybe. But I'm sure that Michigan and UCLA both planned to do comprehensive search the day Bill Frieder and Jim Harrack left.
Fisher's and Lavin's respective performances in their interim roles made it nearly impossible for their teams to do anything other than remove the interim tag.
Bo's timing was set up to give Gard has his shot at the head coaching job. If he succeeds--either by winning or by landing some big-time recruits--it will be pretty difficult for Wisconsin to hire anyone else.
-
This could give some new life to the MU/Wisco rivalry if they get a big name.... not that there wasn't already enough hate there, but just something fresh, maybe building a new era of the rivalry with two young coaches.

Barry walks on water to Wisconsin fans. If he wants to do a search and hire someone else no one is going to say anything regardless of what Gard does. Alvarez will get his way in the end.
-
Unless he signed another extension after last season it looks like Bennett's buyout isn't that big. Started at $1.4M but goes down $200K each season. That would make his buyout only $1M after this season.

No disagreement from me. But those are two HUGE ifs.

People shouldnt dismiss the idea of Tony Bennett to Wisconsin so quickly. At least at one point in his career, it was his dream job. IDK what hes thinking now

It's my understanding when he renegotiated his contract last year there were significant roadblocks for him to get out of the contract for Wisconsin specifically.
That is the interesting question though, assuming Gard doesn't lose the interim tag, who is the most likely person to take that job. In theory it would be Bennett but I'm not sure he can/wants to take the job. They aren't going to the Rob Jeter path if they aren't going Gard.....so that about exhausts the Bo/Bennett coaching tree.
Would they go to a coach with a totally different style of play? If so, this could be a longer rebuild because it's not like Wisconsin was pulling in top 100 talent, they were much more of a system play than a talent play.
-
I'm doubly glad for our win on Saturday. Had UW won, he probably would have made that his last game, and we'd have to hear about him going out with a remarkable come from behind win over MU.

Podcast, podcast, podcast. (Or did you record it already 10 minutes prior to the announcement?)
-

True, and the way Bo's posse treated his dad's move with Soderberg probably doesn't help.

They could do a lot worse than Ben Jacobson at UNI. Stylistically, they're not far off how UW used to play. The transition wouldn't be as bad for the current roster.
-
Still looks like the Planet of the Apes boss when he has a "What kind of a call was that' expression
-
No disagreement from me. But those are two HUGE ifs.
Agreed. I think this move essentially guarantees Gard is gone. If they can't beat Western Illinois and UWM with Bo, I seriously doubt they'll go over .500 in the Big Twelethirfourteen with Gard.
And how does a coach with "interim" in the title and an AD who clearly doesn't support him get big-time recruits?
-

Bennett's contract was re-worked to try and keep him away from Becky:

-
I think it will be Bennett or Smart.
-
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).
My brother said that he heard this was a compromise worked out between Bo and Barry and was supposed to take place this fall, but Gard's dad was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year and died just in in October. Bo stayed on until Gard was ready. (Not that Barry was happy about this.)
And yes there are rumors than a personal issue (not health) is pushing Bo into retirement.
-
I think it will be Bennett or Smart.
Smart isn't leaving Texas. It's a better job than UW.
A lot of people are dismissing Bennett but I think that is more likely.
-
Bob and Brian radio show (not a sports show) said this this am.
-

Bennett just signed a new contract, part of which he agreed to increase his buyout to $3M if he leaves UVA before March of 2018. This came after Bo announced his 1 year plan to retire. I think Bennett's a smart enough guy to know that he'd be on the top of UW's list of replacements for Bo. I also think he's smart enough to not agree to a 3 year extension and nearly double his buyout if he thought UW would be in his plans a year later.

Hes not paying that buyout and if donor(s) want him that seems like a small hurdle to jump over.

How the donors react is going to be interesting. Bo did a great job cultivating a cadre of boosters to the basketball program. Do those boosters have a loyalty to Bo's guy?

You can either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become a villain.
Unfortunately for Bo, he is an undead vampire. This was inevitable.

Think Oscar Wilde when he said, ‘every saint has a past, every sinner has a future.’ But also think Neil Young. ‘The fork in the road, light a candle’. Instead of cursing the darkness, let’s light a candle for where we’re going. This was fantastic for the world. We are better people for having been here. It was absolutely incredible. I’m inspired. I don’t know when I’ll ever sleep again.

What boy doesn't dream about having his dad's job when he grows up? I wanted to be the guy who drove the dump truck at construction sites when I was about 4 years old... but I still went to college.
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.
I'll put what I know out there (in order from most certain to most speculative):
1) Behind closed doors, Bo and Barry aren't as adversarial about the next coach as they are letting on.
2) The bottom line here is that the UW faithful doesn't want another Soderberg episode... they (like us circa I4) want a big name coach to come in and pick up where Bo left off. But ask anyone who knows Barry personally, and they'll say that's not going to happen; Barry is the alpha at UW and he's loathe to hire someone who may steal his thunder.
3) So Gard now gets the job, and Barry catches no heat because the faithful are willing to write this off as having no other choice. As previously stated, if Gard can do better than .500 in conference (which he likely will), the faithful step back from the ledge and Barry can remove his interim tag in March without blow back.
4) Where this (potentially) gets super interesting is how in the world could the faithful be satisfied by a .500 season after consecutive Final Fours??? It's all about expectations, frankly... or the management of said expectations. The implication here is that the season is already lost and even a .500 finish would be a major accomplishment for Gard (meriting a permanent job as HC). The school of thought here is that lowering the bar with three home OOC losses was either a) a very fortunate circumstance or b) a calculated move by Bo (who would not have done so without Barry's complicity). I don't think that Bo intended to "throw" any of these games, but the way they played WIU and UWM (and to a certain extent, MU), it was completely out of character for a Bo Ryan team. If you watched the UW @ Syracuse game, they played "Bo Ryan basketball" in that game, so why did they abandon what's worked for over a decade at UW vs. WIU and UWM? Perhaps his approach was to simply keep the games close and see what happens.
I still think, at the end of the season, Jeter will be interviewed (whether it's announced publicly or not) to appease the regents' AA emphasis. I'm sure there will be rumors that other coaches are interviewed even if they're not with convenient excuses (contract buyouts, etc.) to help UW save face. But whatever happens going forward, this much I know... Barry and Bo are on the same page.
-

There is a 50% chance he will die from this trauma.....next to a log....behind his house in Wisconsin this summer.

So does this mean the rumors that Bo has been cheating on Mrs. Bo are true?

Well, to the extent that being on the same page means that Barry is cheating on Cindy, then no, I don't think they're on the same page. But relative to the "Barry vs. Bo feud" that was being reported back in August, the two agree over the succession plan.

They have agreed to the immediately succession plan, but Barry has done so grudgingly. Everything I have heard is that he is grumpy about being put into this place where he basically had to put Gard in place. But this was the only guaranteed way Gard gets a shot at being head coach albiet on an interim basis.
Now Gard may indeed end up with the job full time, but that won't be because Bo and Barry are holding hands and singing kum-ba-ya together.

That Big Cat article just fellates Bo.
How underwhelmed would you be as UW fan coming off the National Championship game to give the reins to Greg Gard? The guy's been getting pulled around by Bo since Platteville, it's like that old guy in your office getting the promotion just because he's been there longest. Sucks for them I guess.

@[Mark Titus]Honest question, what would his rep be if he never made the Final Four the last 2 years?
"Good-not-great coach who overachieved with what he had but never contended bc he couldn't adapt to new era of CBB."
I'd say that's pretty accurate. Final fours validated all he had ever done.

Humor me for a moment.... if you were Barry and had been planning to hire Gard for the past several years, yet were critically concerned about how donors and boosters (who are still sour about the Soderberg hiring and want someone higher profile) may react, how would you portray yourself to the public? Lay it straight or smoke & mirrors?
Bo is the perfect fall guy... he's the best coach they've ever had and no one can stay mad at him for wanting to retire at his age. Barry's cachet in Madison has lost its luster over time, and he still has to deal with everyone after Bo heads to Naples. Gard has been "in waiting" for a few years now, and Barry & Bo couldn't be handling this in front of the public any better.
Heck, the UW alums in my office are actually looking forward to seeing what Gard can do, just 3-4 months after spouting off about how they will be pissed if Bo's eventual replacement is anything less than Shaka or Tony.
MU Athletics' public relations dept. could stand to learn a lesson here. Then again, the average UW alum/fan isn't as well-versed in cutting through the BS as we are.
-
I don't know. Bob Johnson would get my vote.
And I would put Barry Alvarez ahead of both of them.
I grew up in Madison as a huge hockey fan, but establishing a college hockey program from scratch in the 1960s was much "easier" than building a mortibund football program from nothing. And in college athletics these days, football is *MUCH* more important for a P5 school than any other sport. I mean UW hockey is in tatters right now, and no one really cares.
In fact the only coaches I think that can rival what Alvarez did at Wisconsin in the last 30 years are Snyder at Kansas State, Spurrier at Florida and Bellotti at Oregon. (Not that I am saying that he is a better coach than Urban Meyer, Nick Saban, etc. Just that he built something from near nothing. Those guys didn't.)
I think it is safe to say that the team of Shalala, Richter and Alvarez have everything to do with UW's success in many sports - not just football. UW's athletic program may have been at the bottom of the B10 before those guys came along. Last year it was third in revenue behind only Ohio State and Michigan.

Will Greg Gard be dedicated to sticking to the running game?

Maybe Saul Phillips? He has some tourney experience and is from Reedsburg, WI. and look where he went to school. Funny name good coach.

Benny I love you, but this is deep end crazy even for you. :)
You are basically saying that Barry and Bo are conspiring to get the fan base to accept Greg Gard as the next coach. So Greg Gard is so awesome as a coach that they would orchestrate one of the most bizarre conspiracies to ensure the fan base will accept a coach who Barry and Bo already think will be amazing??? If Gard's the guy, Barry makes him the guy, nobody questions Barry in Madison.

In fact the only coaches I think that can rival what Alvarez did at Wisconsin in the last 30 years are Snyder at Kansas State, Spurrier at Florida and Bellotti at Oregon. (Not that I am saying that he is a better coach than Urban Meyer, Nick Saban, etc. Just that he built something from near nothing. Those guys didn't.)
Agreed.
Although he's a little outside the 30-year window, it's similar to what Schnellenberger did at Miami. Hired in '79 to lead a team that hadn't been to a bowl since 1967, they went from a sub-.500 program to National Champions in 5 seasons.

Good call. And I should give some of Oregon's success to Rich Brooks too.

And Florida's success to Charley Pell who, though he was a notorious cheater, took the Gators from 0-10-1 his first season to four straight winning seasons, including 9-2-1 his final year. Pell led a similar turnaround in his two years at Clemson.
-
Benny I love you, but this is deep end crazy even for you. :)
You are basically saying that Barry and Bo are conspiring to get the fan base to accept Greg Gard as the next coach. So Greg Gard is so awesome as a coach that they would orchestrate one of the most bizarre conspiracies to ensure the fan base will accept a coach who Barry and Bo already think will be amazing??? If Gard's the guy, Barry makes him the guy, nobody questions Barry in Madison.
It was a hypothetical... the point is that what Barry and Bo are saying publicly may not be what's actually being discussed behind closed doors. It doesn't have to be a full-blown conspiracy. It could simply be - as I said - the management of expectations (i.e. public relations).
Sometimes, making the right decision forces you to eschew the popular one, and sometimes you have to stretch the truth and/or put on a bit of a show for your constituency in order to ensure a soft landing, especially when you're dealing with boosters and donors who could put the brakes on your revenues on a whim.
-
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.
Never cared for Bo, but you are right about him being the best coach, Brew Guy did tons with many times limited talent.
People are saying he did it now to get Gard the job. Maybe so. Not sure Alvarez sees it that way. He likely already has some candidtes in mind, probably including Gard. Likely Bennet and others.
-
While certainly Bo's objective, I don't think Barry is in a corner at all. He'll do a comprehensive search.
Agreed.

Bennett's contract was re-worked to try and keep him away from Becky:

Buzz to Wisconsin
This would be great fun. Just think of the gnashing of teeth of the Buzz slurpers when MU and UW play. Root for MU or continue to slurp on the buzz? Oh the agony!!
Doubt if Wiscy would be that dumb.
-
Love him or hate him, it doesn't bode well for UW that Scott Walker is governor.
Bennett is making around $2M with a $3M buyout. They'd have to fork over at least $5.5M the first year, while at the same time matching or exceeding Chryst's contract. Even if Bennett was interested, which I highly doubt, I just can't see how they'd justify that expenditure.

How about Michelle O's brother? That would be a perfect fit for commie land.

So if UW-Madison would have beat Marquette last weekend, would the announcement have come then? I wonder if this announcement was pushed out of the weekend because we won and he couldn't go out on a loss.

Last night was the last game of the semester. Thats why it was announced now.
Big hire for Alvarez after screwing up Andersen. I guarantee it will be a guy who runs a squeaky clean program and knows that their academic requirements will handcuff him. Bo wasn't a great recruiter and really wouldn't take in transfers which was dumb.
Are people even remotely serious about Buzz or Crean? :o

He was a great coach for UW and I wish hm the best in his retirement.

If Diamond Stone went to Madison, does Bo make this announcement yesterday?

Happy to see him quit Respected his results but thought he conducted himself poorly. I think between Bennett and Bo the Badgers have had a long enough period of success that they will be fine no matter who they pick to coach them after this season.
From an MU perspective I would prefer they stick with Guard and not hire some young and upcoming coach like Archie Miller.

For the purpose of comparison, let's examine the admission standards for incoming freshmen at Nebraska, Ohio State and Michigan State -- three teams Wisconsin figures to compete with annually for Big Ten championships. As the website 30mileradius.com points out, Nebraska has "guaranteed admissions" with lower standards than Wisconsin, and the notion that other schools harbor fewer expectations is well-founded in several cases.
At Wisconsin, 13 high school credits must be considered "core college preparatory" classes (four years of English, three years of math, three years of natural science and three years of social science). However, unlike other institutions, Wisconsin also requires an additional four electives, which can include foreign language, fine arts, computer science or other academic areas. That last addition very well could be the difference between landing some talented prospects with marginal coursework.
Nebraska requires 14 of those so-called "core" units, adding a fourth year of math. But the school only asks for two other units coming from a foreign language for a total of 16 academic course units. Ohio State's minimum course unit requirement also is 16, while Michigan State's is only 14.
At Wisconsin? That number is, at minimum, 17.
It's all about the core credit requirements. I only know because I mentor a kid who is good enough to play football at either but got into Mich St very quickly but not Wisky...yet.

It is expected that people will claim that his career was a paean to nobility but I think the guy was a sore loser and nasty sonuvabitch.

Dirty secret, what a core unit is comprised of is an interpretation of NCAA guidelines. Wisconsin does "require" 17 core units, but those extra units could be underwater basket weaving if the admissions office deemed it worth. Requiring 3 extra core units allows them to say they have higher standards when they really don't. If they want an athlete and they meet NCAA standards, Wisconsin can get them in.
It's a risk-reward proposition for admissions, for every PJ Hill you take in you have to have a John Urschel (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Urschel (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Urschel)). Their admissions aren't higher than anyone elses. The NCAA dings you on volume of poor academics not on individuals who have questionable academics.

There is this narrative out there, started and perpetuated by UW Madison people, that the state college of Wisconsin is some sort of citadel of higher academic achievement.
What Madison really is is a school for east coast kids who couldn't get into an Ivy. Madison is a good school; it is hardly great.

I wasn't taking the piss out of you but just furthering on your post.
I am always amused at how Madison people attach so much singularity cachet to their diploma. It is especially galling when they make comparisons with a Marquette education.

Adios Mother F#cker. College basketball is a better place without your toxic personality.
Keefe bringin' the heat! Couldn't agree more
-
UW became a much bigger rivalry during the Bo years.
When I attended (McGuire) I thought ND Digger Phelps was our arch rival (not sure ND agreed-lol). Depaul with Ray Myers considered Marquette their rival(not sure we agreed-lol).
Bo's success elevated the program and the rivalry.
I am curious. I never really tried to understand Bo's "system" that he mentored throughout the state for decades. Is UW married to keeping the "Bo" system? Do they slip back to pre Bo mediocrity? Does the era end with him? Does UW keep recruiting its "system" style kids? If not....How will they change, and how might this affect our recruiting profile/competitiveness?
-
I wasn't saying it was a great school. I was saying that they don't make the same types of admissions exceptions for athletes like they used to.
They definitely still make exceptions for students they just don't make as many exceptions. John Clay is a perfect example of exceptions being granted and I know that as a stone cold lock.

I don't think Barry plans to lose this measuring contest. My bet is Barry triples his efforts to find someone besides Gard.

How the donors react is going to be interesting. Bo did a great job cultivating a cadre of boosters to the basketball program. Do those boosters have a loyalty to Bo's guy?
Funny, one of those boosters was just telling my daughter (now at UW--sigh) in October "not to worry--Bo will be around for a few more years."

Congratulations are due to Bo Ryan on an illustrious career at Wisconsin, including such accomplishments as:
*** Zero National Championships despite having a bottomless well of taxpayer dollars
*** A history of NCAA Tournament success, including a 4-7 record against teams seeded 1-4.
But oh man, who could forget those legendary NCAA Tournament victories over:
9th-seeded St. John's
12th-seeded Weber State
13th-seeded Tulsa
11th-seeded Richmond
11th-seeded Northern Iowa
14th-seeded Bucknell
10th-seeded NC State
15th-seeded Texas A&M-Corpus Christi
14th-seeded Cal State Fullerton
11th-seeded Kansas State
5th-seeded Florida State (Hey! Look at that! A higher seed! It only took 8 years.)
13th-seeded Wofford
13th-seeded Belmont
5th-seeded Kansas State
13th-seeded Montana
5th-seeded Vanderbilt
15th-seeded American
7th-seeded Oregon
6th-seeded Baylor
16th-seeded Coastal Carolina
8th-seeded Oregon
A regular giant-slayer that Bo Ryan is, what with his TWO career NCAA Tournament victories over higher-seeded opponents. You can count them on two hands if you love playing with fireworks.
*** Being such a great developer of talent that he had a whole FOUR players drafted by NBA teams in 14+ seasons. Way to go, Bo!

While I respect the coaching ability that squeezed as much as Bo did out of the players he recruited, I think that business model is really hard to follow and get consistent good results. I can't see the difference makers at UW trying to catch lightning in a bottle again when all they do is rave about how "unique" Bo is (even though his real success came with actual NBA talent), but let's hope they do.

I have heard the rumors from credible sources…if true…I trust they will come out in the media in time as there are some fairly serious offshoot events tied to some bad decisions…just don't want to jump on gossip as I remember that feeling a few years ago with Buzz and trying not to judge until the rumors were replaced by credible allegations (i.e. the Chicago Tribune story)….hopefully the truth comes out…in the meantime, let the man run away in peace. (but if the rumors are true…it is complicated and ugly and I can totally see why Bo would leave right now to spare the program from embarrassment and scandal on top of the retirement/unretirement power play). That being said…the dude could coach.
So, I chose to celebrate the taming of the grinch by rewatching his last loss…last Saturday in Madison to our beloved Warriors. He did not look his obnoxious grinch self on the sideline so something was possibly weighty on his mind. But, beyond that….my God...Henry, Luke and Cheatham were studs! And DWill, JJJ and Sandy all had way higher positives than not in the game….and I love our last meeting with him at the Kohl Hole is a W. Wojo had a brilliant game plan and in the face of adversity after blowing a big lead…we nailed those rodents (and frankly, after rewatching it…it could have been so much worse for UW…although both Happ and Showalter were really impressive). Bo took UW to the top….probably destined to fall back…but MU looks without question on the rise! I raise my glass to UW for they last few years but i can not wait to drink in all the success that I feel is on our way.

That's a 500 word humble brag amounting to "i know more than you do". No offense but if you meant the last 250 words you would've 'swallowed' the first 250.

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.

So, this is not the Associated Press and I'm not saying this is the truth…but…the rumor is in this neighborhood:
1. Bo had inappropriate relationship with a younger woman
2. Younger woman had some loose associations with very sketchy characters
3. Very sketchy characters made Bo and his family's life hell (which is sad)
4. Things got potentially escalated in the last week
5. One of said sketchy characters was murdered in Madison last Friday night/Saturday morning.
6. Nothing incriminating at all toward Bo but bad decisions led to peripheral attachment to an ugly situation which would bring embarrassment, shame and distraction to the University and program.
7. On top of an already odd and tense situation…well…you can see the timing issue.
There, I said (or wrote) it. BTW, the person who told me this has the absolute utmost respect and like for Bo and considers him a man with integrity and ethics who potentially made some bad decisions.
Just saying what everyone is alluding to….not saying it is true…the internet may be a wonderful tool of hyping speculation, rumor and gossip…but, his timing on all this is odd to say the least….if he was doing this to secure the long term prospects for Gard…could not have been more poorly orchestrated. Let's see if more comes out….if not…I'm guilty of fueling horrible character assassination through speculation…but, eff it…it is a message board and it is not like I have to protect my self or my "sources."
Again…did not mean to sound like a pseudo-insider….now I sound like a wild rumor monger….I am neither….or both…but happy where our program is heading.

Fantastic response! Pretty much summarizes everything i've read today except I don't believe that the Olive Garden breadstick theory is 100% true.
All good my friend….I reread my post and I did sound like that and I did not mean to…I take feedback well….and learn from it :) Also changed my response a bit to just stop sounding douchey and get to the point…again…may or may not be true but lots of smoke….and, I agree...The Olive Garden Breadstick has to be rumor…has to be...

This is a great gif!! Gave me a good laugh as it was exactly my reaction.

Heard a similar story from someone "involved" in Madison.

So, this is not the Associated Press and I'm not saying this is the truth…but…the rumor is in this neighborhood:
1. Bo had inappropriate relationship with a younger woman
2. Younger woman had some loose associations with very sketchy characters
3. Very sketchy characters made Bo and his family's life hell (which is sad)
4. Things got potentially escalated in the last week
5. One of said sketchy characters was murdered in Madison last Friday night/Saturday morning.
6. Nothing incriminating at all toward Bo but bad decisions led to peripheral attachment to an ugly situation which would bring embarrassment, shame and distraction to the University and program.
7. On top of an already odd and tense situation…well…you can see the timing issue.
There, I said (or wrote) it. BTW, the person who told me this has the absolute utmost respect and like for Bo and considers him a man with integrity and ethics who potentially made some bad decisions.
Just saying what everyone is alluding to….not saying it is true…the internet may be a wonderful tool of hyping speculation, rumor and gossip…but, his timing on all this is odd to say the least….if he was doing this to secure the long term prospects for Gard…could not have been more poorly orchestrated. Let's see if more comes out….if not…I'm guilty of fueling horrible character assassination through speculation…but, eff it…it is a message board and it is not like I have to protect my self or my "sources."
Again…did not mean to sound like a pseudo-insider….now I sound like a wild rumor monger….I am neither….or both…but happy where our program is heading.
More scotch anyone?
And here I thought it was just that the people in Madison finally got sick of Bo not graduating his players :) I thought that was embarrassing enough.
Seriously, there have been a lot of hints something was going on over the last few weeks. I'm glad someone finally spilled the rumor beans in enough detail to get it out in the open in full.
Olive Garden? What? Breadsticks? Now we have a new rumor to fuel the fire.

I did the same thing.
It's easy to find when Madison has had only 5 murders this year.

There might be a chance that his teams played more conservative on the court than he did off the court.

Actually a potentially very sad ending to a remarkable career. If story is true, I feel badly for all parties involved. Hate UW and everyone in the program but hope he can leave town in peace.

With news like this, its gonna be very difficult for MU to keep up its reputation as the squirmy program in the state.

We've enjoyed picking on our neighbors to the west but it's certainly true that Bo was a fantastic coach, ran an outstanding program, and has remained committed to the state throughout his career. I really do hope that he gets to enjoy his retirement with his family and friends.

I hope he does also, but only if he deserves to enjoy his retirement. If he did something wrong he should get what he deserves and not walk away because he is Bo Ryan.

UW Athletics does not have a "bottomless well of taxpayer dollars."
Bo Ryan is (was) the highest-paid public employee in the State of Wisconsin. There's certainly plenty of resources available.
(http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--OsmROR7U--/c_scale,fl_progressive,q_80,w_800/ykdkqhstdm1ptubyuct2.jpg)
Can you put together TC, Buzz or even Als record against top 4 seeds? That's not a horrible record considering 2 of those losses were in the final last year.
Crean went 2-2 vs. Top 4 seeds at Marquette (Beat Pittsburgh & Kentucky, Lost to Kansas, Stanford). He's since gone 0-2 vs. Top 4 seeds at Indiana (Lost to Kentucky and Syracuse).
Buzz went 2-3 (Beat Syracuse and Miami, lost to Missouri, North Carolina, and Syracuse)
Al doesn't have a record against Top 4 seeds because the NCAA Tournament did not begin seeding as we know it until 1979.
My point is that Ryan's "record of NCAA success" largely rests on beating up on teams no one would consider contenders. Hell, Buzz Williams won more games against higher-seeded teams (3) than Bo Ryan did (2). Ryan should be commended for getting Bucky to the tournament consistently, but his record once they got there is mixed at best.

This. There have been rumors around Madison for a long time... ever since Bret B was cruising State St for coeds, people have been saying more and more things about Bo. So whether there's any truth to that or not, it isn't exactly breaking news.
Of course, the staleness of rumors is not going to stop some "enterprising" people from trying to cash in, i.e. if #3 is true, then it's likely that #1 & #2 didn't lead to #3... #1 and #2 were the result of #3.
What probably happened is someone was trying to extort money from Bo, and whoever was working that #3, somebody worked up a #5 on them (or someone they knew). If you want crazy rumors, start with those two, forget about #1,2,4,6 & 7 and work from there... in other words, these are Bo Ryan rumors we're talking about; don't half-ass it, go all in, and leave the fluff behind.
Personally, I'm really looking forward to Christmas next weekend with my extended family, if for nothing else, just to find out what's going through their heads right now.

Ummm, are there any mods around here? This thread needs to be blown up. If something scandalous is behind Bo's sudden retirement, I'm sure it will come to light through the proper avenues in due time. No need for the ugly rumor mongering.

I see what you did there. This thread is somewhat disconcerting but Mike Heller was on 920 yesterday telling everyone that Wes Matthews didn't have the grades to get into UW. This is in a long line of throwing teenagers under the bus for their "poor" grades (Vander, Diamond Stone, Craig Evans) by the media in Madison.

Forget what talking Badger head was on the radio with Downtown Ollie Burrows here in Central Wisconsin to discuss Bo Ryan yesterday.... They got into the poor recent recruiting, especially following the final four. Dude said Henry never wanted to go to MU and always wanted to go to Wisconsin ("heck, his Dad had a terrible experience at MU but loved Wisconsin") but Bo wouldn't play the must give Wally a scholarship game. Parents made the decision that both should go to MU for the double scholarships. No mention Henry could have gone to Kentucky or MSU, and only was interested in MU when Wojo got involved.
Then went on to say Diamond Stone couldn't get into Madison plus his Dad got a job with UnderArmor, tough to compete with that.

Heller is a tool. He insinuated a while back that there was dirty business going on at MU because no one of Henry's caliber would seriously consider a mid major that plays in the has been Big East. Those guys defend UW with all of their might and take shots whenever they can.
Heard two people in our office yesterday--on separate occasions- mention that Gard will have a hard time recruiting with the self imposed higher academic standards that UW has implemented. If they didn't have such standards they would have landed Diamond. Couldn't believe it. But, when people like Heller continue to spew this BS and it sticks.

Bo was a very successful coach, went to the NCAA tournament often and the finals last year; though he did not coach the kind of hoops we all like, he still beat MU enough to earn some genuine respect from us.
Let's be gracious, we are certainly on the upswing after a tough year of transition. We also have that NCAA Championship banner hanging in our place. I really think it more likely a second banner comes our way before one hangs at Kohl.
Bo's decision to leave now--after the MU defeat--will always punctuate his overall, great record. We can always remind our "friends" in Madison of this whenever the time is more appropriate, not now.

More sadly, more time has now passed since our championship (38 years) than between Wisconsin's and ours (36 years).
Here's hoping Wojo ends our streak and that Greg Gard forces UW into a UCLA-like situation: one good season to win the job, followed by six years of mediocracy.

A quote:
"their record stood at 5-3 after losing their Big Ten opener — a 44-27 road loss to Minnesota that saw Wisconsin held to zero field goals in the second half."
So Bo brought success to Wisconsin basketball by returning to the offensive pace of their national championship team.

My favorite poster over there is Eric the Red. He is treated like royalty and pretends that he's some sort of high level insider with all this great knowledge, when all he does is make vague statements that have absolutely no meaning and everyone over there drools over them. "That's simply not true." Asked to go into details, he just repeats the statement. Anybody that actually has the kind of inside information that he pretends to have on UW athletics does not openly post on public forums as often as he does. See BigDaddy. Comes around maybe once a month in season to share what is appropriate for fans to know and then disappears.

The most creative insult they can come up with is "classless dickheads?" Quality Wisconsin education at work....sorry quality UW Superior education right there
-
It seems like some if their supposed insiders are confirming that something is up. No details but doesn't sound good
-
One thing I have learned over the past 20 or so years. NEVER be surprised when someone you think has a nice and decent public persona, is caught with his/her pants down. NEVER.
As for the UWM fans. The funniest thing is them blaming academic standards for the sports teams. They then link to the normal student population entry standard. Like they actually believe the athletes have the same entry standard. And they go with this as gospel. Then there are of course sites with actual data that show UW is no better than anybody else, in fact sometimes worse.
I have yet to see where there is an actual documented standard for what UWM has for athletes to get into their school. And that is likely because its a sliding scale based on the person involved. Its sooo funny to watch UWM recruit hard after a kid(Stone), then when he says no to them. It was obviously because of his grades. What? You werent aware of his grades before he turned you down? ?-(

They do confirm the rumor of Bo murdering the guy at Autozone is false. I'm glad they helped clarify that one.

Haha! Eugene did something incredible! Somehow he was the first one to find this article and comment on it, with the clear intention of riling up the UW faithful...and he couldn't have possibly had any more success than he did. Amazing. Frank's thank you article to Bo and the first comment that remains at the top and is seen by everyone who reads it rips Bo. What a unnatural carnal knowledgeing clueless dick. Outstanding.

Pretty hilarious. He completely kamikazed the comments section. Now its full of butt hurt people yelling at him rather than praising the article or Bo. Pretty funny.

My, they think highly of us at Buckyville. For any other denizens of Buckyville who may visit, for the record, we feel the exact same way about you. Never have we seen such a collection of mindless ^@%& tards in our lives. We feel dumber having read your in-bred, sycophantic circle-jerking. It amazes us you know which end of the keyboard to use without injuring yourselves. Merry Christmas.

I think I like this clown, who speaks for "most serious MU fans" most...
I am not a Badger fan but I have two kids that go to UW, and another who goes to Florida State. I don't mind Badger Football but growing up my loyalties have been on the MU side of the aisle. That is probably because I am older than most of you and the Badgers basically sucked at everything but cross country and Hockey when I was a kid forming my sports allegiences. Now that I got that out of the way, I totally agree with ETR's assessment of MUscoop. Just trash and most serious MU fan's don't go near that site. With that said, many of us have heard rumours about Bo for about the last six months, that appear to check out. They do not have anything to do with a murder in Madison though.

The best part is he never came back to bicker and banter back and forth with them. He knew exactly what he was doing and what he wanted to accomplish, and the Badger fans did not disappoint. He got his word in first and watched the whole place explode. I really hope he's just sitting there updating the article and laughing at each new comment.

e) Self-effacing humor goes a looooong way
f) I really want an MUPoop shirt
g) Kinda pissed one of their biggest tools user name starts with "Finn"

This is getting interesting. The thread has not been deleted from the bickering board over at buckyville. And a few posters, including some with Platteville ties have clearly heard the story, probably from Bo's family members. I know nothing about the autozone stuff but the rest lines up with what I heard months ago. I heard it from a coach that is a HUGE fan of Bo and is very, very good friends with one of his children. If, as I expect, much of this is true and it led to the retirement of one of CBB's greatest coaches, it is newsworthy and should be reported.

This means UW will be banned from the NCAA tourney, right?

Well, it's officially out there now and confirmed by UW-Madison and Bo Ryan. I'm sure there are more details, like the pregnancy and when the women became "unaffiliated" with the university, but those might not show up in a public documents request. It's interesting they can get a copy of expense reports from recruiting trips.

I doubt there is anything within those expense reports. The real question is if he charged anything to Wisconsin Basketball Boosters, Inc. (a non-state entity) Not subject to freedom of information requests.

My sources in Madison are very connected...as in know Bo and wife.
Apparently it was another woman who went to the chancellor(Not Tara). Tara was also highly "engaged" with Bo too. Bo was pretty damned sneaky about this.
Also heard Bo described as one of the most selfish, greedy individuals on the planet.
What I don't get is why the Madison press continues to not report this.

Such a joke. Bo is such a class A douche from the Holman funeral years ago and beyond. Great coach, but grade A douche like many of their fans. Can't wait for the Bo Ryan naming of the court.

Bruce, Bo, and the Homan funeral (the remix)

I should have said Homan funeral, not Holman. My apologies.
Bruce showed up at the funeral in a stretch limo, which was not the right thing to do and everyone knew it. A number of people were astonished that Bruce would do this, but of course a number weren't as he rolls differently than most. Many people were pissed.
Let's just say that Bo decided that instead of keeping it "in house", he was going to put it out there in the press. Now, I admire Bo for knowing right from wrong and understanding that Bruce was a dink for doing this. But rehashing it after the funeral the way he did, publicly, what's the point?
Ryan said that several people called to tell him that Tennessee coach Bruce Pearl had a stretch limousine waiting to pick him up after he attended the recent funeral for former UWM and UW-La Crosse basketball player Luke Homan. Pearl coached Homan when they were both at Milwaukee.
"That's how he was picked up at the funeral. You wouldn't believe the number of people who said, 'How in the heck could he have the audacity to make it a spectacle about himself?' " Ryan said incredulously.

It had broken off. Many years had gone by and he stayed silent. When she got upset that he only wanted sex via her strapping it on and banging him, he knew she's come out publicly and disclose things. So he told people.
There are other chicks he banged / had bang him. They are on OK terms thanks to cash settlements. Thus, he hasn't disclosed those relationships.

So a women reports that she accompanied Bo on numerous recruiting trips for Free, but somehow they deem that no funds were used?
Seems to me they are using a common cover.
Well, the private jet was already paid for and his rooms were already paid for so he is entitled to bring a guest. And she didn't eat or drink anything, because she is a mutant (who else would bang the Grinch).

Or the booster club paid for it. Which would be outside state oversight.

Some big boosters have been covering for Bo for a long time.

Is there any other area in which private organizations or individuals can funnel money to a state employee? I realize its common for coaches, but it seems like this would not be allowed in any other area for public employees under ethics rules, etc. The ethics rules seem vague enough that they could go after someone if they wanted to, but also justify not doing anything as well. It certainly seems like no one at UW is interested in pursuing this any further.
https://www.wisconsin.edu/general-counsel/legal-topics/ethics/
Regardless, this is a masterful example of PR. All the headlines are "Bo cleared of all wrongdoing", when nobody was even aware there was an investigation to begin with, and everyone except a few diehards didn't even know about the affairs.
-
Well almost every state university has an associated foundation that raises money on its behalf. Many have other booster clubs and the like as well. And if those organizations are run well, that's a good thing. Marquette's team and staff have access to charter jets and the like. Public university coaches should have the same advantage, but you shouldn't charge that to the state. Make donors pay for it since they have a vested interest.
But poorly run organizations can ignore IRS regulations, etc. And there isn't a great deal of oversight with many not-for-profits unless they are a complete sh*tshow. Too many of them. They are too small. Just hope they have good auditors.
And I shouldn't have made the proclamation that the Wisconsin Boosters paid for her travel. Maybe Bo did pay for it himself. But if she have her trips reimbursed by Boosters, or Bo had her travel reimbursed by Boosters, that should be considered taxable income because her attendance wasn't necessary for business related purposes.
-
Not hard to imagine why they didn't find any funds spent on Robin. They fly charter, so no airplane tickets. Particularly on recruiting trips where it's just a couple of people going, probably on a small aircraft. She stays in Bo's hotel room, so no separate hotel bill. Dinner receipts, etc. are easy to fudge who was present, perhaps not even required by UW if under $75.
