I know that I'm old school, but Chucky Davis is mine. He beat out Hershel Walker for player of the year in Georgia his senior year. He messed up his career with academics and injury, but as far as a recruit goes, he's my #1

This is somewhat tongue in cheek 🤪 but wow -

If Mac fires Gard (I personally don't think he should or will), who would be your choice as the new hire? We all know that Mac is a "win big and win now" type of guy, but personally I think that it would be a mistake. I could almost guarantee Freitag would leave. Storr would probably enter the draft (he might anyway). We'd need a high profile, well liked coach to prevent massive exodus imo, and they don't grow on trees.

Defense, closing games, rotations, coaching? What's the biggest issue for the Badgers right now?

He has NO confidence in his shot right now! At this point, when Max and Gilmore are in the game at the same time, it's like we're playing 3 on 5 offensively. He had SO many open 3's this game, but refused to shoot. The announcers said as much. We need Max back in a bad way!

To OSU!

BO RYAN
Bo Ryan spent 32 seasons as a collegiate head coach before retiring in December of 2015. He finished his career 26th on the NCAA's all-time wins list with a record of 747-233 (.762), including a mark of 364-130 (.737) in 14-plus seasons at Wisconsin. Author of the most wins in UW annals and the best winning percentage in Big Ten history, Ryan led the Badgers to seven Big Ten titles, back-to-back Final Fours in 2014 and 2015 and an appearance in the national championship game.

A native of Chester, Pennsylvania, Ryan was named the Big Ten Coach of the Year four times (2002, 2003, 2013, 2015) while coaching at Wisconsin. Prior to his time in Madison, he coached at UW-Milwaukee (1999-2000) and UW-Platteville (1984-1999), where his team won four NCAA Division III Championships (1991, 1995, 1998, 1999). Ryan led Wisconsin to four Big Ten regular season championships (2002, 2003, 2008, 2015), three Big Ten Tournament championships (2004, 2008, 2015), and the NCAA Final Four twice (2014, 2015). Ryan is a recipient of the Clair Bee Coach of the Year Award (2007), NABC Outstanding Service Award (2009) and Coaches vs. Cancer Champion Award (2013).

It was during his 15-year tenure at UW-Platteville that Ryan firmly established himself as one of the nation's top coaches. Ryan guided the Division III program to a phenomenal 353-76 (.822) overall record. In his final 12 seasons, the Pioneers won four national championships (1991, '95, '98, '99), were the winningest NCAA men's basketball team of the 1990s (all divisions) with a 266-26 (.908) record, won eight WIAC titles, compiled a 30-5 NCAA Division III tournament mark, and never won fewer than 23 games.

Before coming to Wisconsin, Ryan coached for two seasons at UW-Milwaukee. There, he coached the Panthers to their first back-to-back winning seasons in eight years. UWM also experienced a 161-percent home attendance increase in his first season.

Ryan's coaching career began in the fall of 1972 at Brookhaven High School in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, where he was hired as a history teacher and head basketball coach. After just one year at Brookhaven, Ryan began his collegiate coaching career in 1973 at Dominican College of Racine (Wisconsin) as an assistant under Bill Cofield.
