Wisconsin coach Bo Ryan, who is coming off back-to-back Final Four
appearances, will retire after next season, he announced Monday.

Ryan, 67, said in a statement that he will coach this season and then step
down. His hope is that longtime assistant Greg Gard succeeds him in Madison.

"Back in the spring, in the days after the national championship game,
[athletic director] Barry Alvarez and I discussed the possibility of me
retiring," Ryan said in the statement. "I've always been told that is not a
decision to make right after a season is completed. Barry thankfully
encouraged me to take some time to think about it and I have done that. I
considered retiring this summer or coaching one more season.

"I've decided to coach one more season with the hope that my longtime
assistant Greg Gard eventually becomes the head coach at Wisconsin. I am
looking forward to another year with our program, including our players, my
terrific assistant coaches, our office staff and everyone who supports
Wisconsin basketball here in Madison, around the state and across the
country."

必須說, 看 Badgers basketball 真的會很容易大概在1st Half 的中段就睡著...

但是, Bo Ryan 在 Big Ten 和 College Basketball 的成功是有目共睹的

在 Madison 14 年, 每年都帶 Badgers 打 tournament 足以證明.



繼 Boeheim 之後, Ryan 也確定要交出棒子了.

儘管 Pitino, Roy Williams & Coach K 還留在這圈子, 但年事已高的他們

應該也快要準備退休了. 大學籃壇教練圈即將走入新的世代.
