UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN

University of Wisconsin men’s basketball coach Bo Ryan announced in June that he would retire after the 2015-16 season. Now, he doesn’t sound so sure about that plan. Ryan left the door open to coaching beyond the upcoming season during an interview with the Appleton Post-Crescent on Wednesday night in Kaukauna, where Ryan was a guest speaker at a charity event. Rumor that Ryan was considering changing his mind about retirement have been floating around for weeks. Ryan made it clear in his announcement in June that he would like his successor to be associate head coach Greg Gard, but UW athletic director Barry Alvarez told the State Journal he wanted to conduct a national search to find Ryan’s replace-ment. Alvarez might not even have to conduct a search after next season, based on Ryan’s comments to the Post Crescent. – Jim Polzin, Wisconsin State Journal, Read More
