Vindictive Bo

I'm not so sure that's true.  Remember the St. Joseph's transfer issue from back in the middle of the season?  Everyone was up in arms for a few days, maybe even a week, and then it passed.  No one thinks about it now.  Bo will take some heat this week, and again when Uthoff announces where he's transferring to, but unless Uthoff blows up at Creghton that will be the end of it.  People have very short attention spans and standing your ground is almost better than doubling back, because people will forget.

i typically cannot stand M&M, but they were great this morning. rarely to they ever blast thier guests....awesome job closing the interview with. "agree to disagree."

good stuff

Why does the NCAA restrict transfers in the revenue sports by making them sit out a year, but allows direct transfers in the other sports.  For example, MU just accepted a transfer in volleyball who can play right away.

Why does the NCAA force a player to sit out a year for transferring when his 1-year scholarship wasn't renewed by the coach?  Sometimes things the NCAA does don't make sense.

One of the best lines.  Interesting how MU gets burned locally but national press is more favorable.  While UW it is the inverse.  Really a bad mistake by UW putting a Bo on who is used to getting his pov across unquestioned locally but he was not prepared for this nationally.

And in listening to Bo, I think he initially handled the question well, but as the interview went on it just got worse....and worse...and worse....

He should have never gone on the radio.

The BE for instance prevents its schools from signing transfer from another BE school.

My understanding is you can transfer within BE schools but you have to sit for TWO years.  No one would do this so it effectively makes it a ban from transferring.

Here's a link to some of that interview:

Just finished watching it ... Bo did a terrible job.  He should have never agreed tot the interview.

If you listen to the whole thing, he said early on that he didn't know what M&M had been talking about, that someone just called him up and asked if he wanted to be on M&M and he said yes. If that's true and he is truly ignorant of just how asinine he looks...wow, I don't even know what to say.

Good article from Goodman about other high-profile transfers:

I was contemplating this over lunch.    This is going to have a far larger negative national impact on UW than a bunch of 19-20 year old MU players not drinking in a bar had on MU.   AAU coaches/handlers/parents/HS coaches outside the state of Wisconsin are going to have a moment's pause before advocating their talented 16-17-18 year old go play in Madison.    Most parents of most kids (outside of Wisonsin, particularly the Milwaukee media market) are going to look at what happened in January as kids being dumb kids.    They are going to look at this as a coach and an institution sticking it to a kid who changed his mind.   And it will be remembered.

Ian Markolf. Who lost both the will to live, and the desire to play basketball. Until he started playing again.

@adamhogeCBS trying very hard for Bo.

He's a UW alum, which is fine... but it definitely clouds his "professional" opinion.

Before I even knew he was a UW alum, I started reading his twitter during the Big 10 tourny and said "This guy sounds like a badger fan". Then I poked around, and voila! UW guy.

Adamhoge?  PRN is a big follower of his.  


He is an anti-Marquette tool, pro Bo Ryan pro Badger "reporter"

[MattyWarrior]

Bo is such a dickshine, big mistake letting him take an interview by himself. He showed who he really is, an angry old fart.

[Canadian Dimes]

So Bo doesnt know how transfers work, but then spends the next 5 minutes explaining in detail how they work.

So Bo wasnt listening....but then comments on a number of their comments?


That plus everything else he says makes they guy look like a complete idiot!!

Should have stayed on vacation, cant think of a single parent or recruit that would be attarcted to anything he said.

Putting Bo in with Philadelphia would be a high compliment if you've ever been to his hometown of Chester.  It really is the end of the earth.

Just listened to the interview, love em or hate em, kudos to Greenberg and Golic, fantastic job on their end to call out Ryan and not let him off the hook, really well done.

I know it's a title of another thread, but what SID in their right mind thought it was a good idea for him to go on? From what it sounded like from Ryan, the SID proactively pursued calling into Mike & Mike. One of the worst PR moves I've ever seen, made ten times worse by his response. As the interview went on, it was almost uncomfortable to listen to it, it was that bad.

What's funny/ironic is that how public this has become, it should really hurt them in recruiting. The funny/ironic part is the type of kid Wisco recruits (for the most part) won't be affected by this. They would go play for Bo/Wisco/his system anyway.

I was going to go post this on Scout, but Bo wouldn't allow me to.

I actually think you can transfer to another conference school, but you have to sit out two years.  So it's very cost prohibitive both for the player in terms of development and the school in terms of scholarship allocation.  At least it used to be that way, that may have changed though.

When bo tampered with, er, I mean, helped Brust get out of his NLI with Iowa, the Big 10 changed the transfer rules.  It no longer is two years and you can receive a scholarship.  That is why the Big 10 was included on the list.

It may, but Bo only recruits in a four state area anyway.  They've had so few transfers, I doubt it impacts them much at all.  It is fun to watch, especially their fans who are hypocritical with Buzz and Crean's transfers here at MU.

I have done crisis management training in the past.  All I could think of through the whole interview is making UW a client.  WOW that was as bad a decision, AND preparation, as I have ever witnessed.  We have blasted MU's PR Dept on this board.  I think UW's might be even worse.
