June 30, 201511 yr Sounds like Bo will coach one more and retire. Have always liked Bo. Bo Ryan of Wisconsin Badgers to retire after next season
June 30, 201511 yr He has always struck me as a bully. After the Duke loss, he struck me as a cry baby too.
June 30, 201511 yr He has always struck me as a bully. After the Duke loss, he struck me as a cry baby too. Not his finest hour by a long shot, but he has always struck me as an Izzo kind of guy (not QUITE at his level) who can do a lot with less.
June 30, 201511 yr He has always struck me as a bully. After the Duke loss, he struck me as a cry baby too. I had a higher opinion of him before the Duke loss thats for sure.
July 1, 201511 yr Ever since he tried to block that kid from transferring to NC State bc they may play WI in the ACC/Big Ten challenge, I have not been a fan.
July 1, 201511 yr Bo never did the rent a player at Wisconsin. It's probably time for Bo to retire. What are you talking about, are you saying no one and dones? He did it the right way and that no longer works so it's time for him to go? Just wanting to clarify
July 1, 201511 yr What are you talking about, are you saying no one and dones? He did it the right way and that no longer works so it's time for him to go? Just wanting to clarify "Rent a player" is a Bo Ryan phrase he coined after they lost the national title game. Bragging that he doesn't do it.
July 1, 201511 yr "Rent a player" is a Bo Ryan phrase he coined after they lost the national title game. Bragging that he doesn't do it. He may not have "Rented a Player" but he did not do a good job of graduating them either... If the 68 teams were seeded by graduation rates, the Badgers would be a bottom seed. They have the lowest Graduation Success Rate for black men of zero and the third-lowest overall at 40 percent. They were one of 16 teams that should be disqualified for historically graduating less than 50 percent of either black or white players or having an overall rate under 50 percent. He may try to act Holier than thou, but his results say he doesn't really care much about the Student part of Student Athlete.
July 1, 201511 yr One of the greats. A comedian would have a hard time making him laugh but he's a great coach.
July 1, 201511 yr Ever since he tried to block that kid from transferring to NC State bc they may play WI in the ACC/Big Ten challenge, I have not been a fan. I agree
July 1, 201511 yr Author He may not have "Rented a Player" but he did not do a good job of graduating them either... He may try to act Holier than thou, but his results say he doesn't really care much about the Student part of Student Athlete. Their APR for basketball is 985.

He may try to act Holier than thou, but his results say he doesn't really care much about the Student part of Student Athlete. That seems odd to me, given that Wisconsin has a historically strong academic reputation and is known to be stricter with its enrollment standards than most big-time state school athletic programs.
July 2, 201511 yr Their APR for basketball is 985. Good for 7th in the Big 10 That seems odd to me, given that Wisconsin has a historically strong academic reputation and is known to be stricter with its enrollment standards than most big-time state school athletic programs. https://www.bostonglobe.com/opinion/2015/03/24/march-madness-top-courts-but-wisconsin-badgers-bottom-graduation-rates/I8LIg6FKwrz1nK250NKaJJ/story.html In fact last season, a New York Times story centered how the Badgers studied Italian, accounting, business and Plessy v. Ferguson during the tournament. A recent Forbes writer said a Badgers national championship would be “good for college basketball,” because their star senior players “prioritized academics,” without the “one-and-done stigma” displayed by para-professional programs such as No. 1 ranked and undefeated Kentucky. Ironically, Kentucky deserves a lot more credit than Wisconsin on this score as, of the players who don’t bolt for the pros, 89 percent of them graduate. Lowest Graduation Rate in the Big 10, barely ahead of IU.
