Tremendous game. I wonder if Bruce will get the UCLA job. What does UCLA offer that he doesn't have at Auburn? More prestige (the home of Wooden!) and even more money. Bruce has always sought the biggest possible stage. At UCLA, basketball is the biggest game in town!

Am I the only person that thinks Bill Rafferty makes college basketball unwatchable?

Am I the only person that thinks Bill Rafferty makes college basketball unwatchable? Could be worse. Could be Dick Vitale. But Rafftery’s shtick is wearing out, yes.

To think the Badgers could have had Tony Bennett. Ah well, just like most things with UW athletics, Gard is "good enough". Bump

To think the Badgers could have had Tony Bennett. Ah well, just like most things with UW athletics, Gard is "good enough". Bump 2002, Bo Ryan takes the UW job and retains Tony Bennett as an assistant coach 2003, Dick Bennett takes Washington State job, Tony joins as assistant 2006, Tony takes over as HC at Wazzou 2009, Tony takes Virginia HC job 2014-15-16 Tony either wins the ACC or the ACC tournament or gets a 1 or 2 seed in the NCAA or all of the above 2014-15 Bo takes Badgers to FF and Champ game to cap 14 consecutive NCAA bids as coach 2016, Bo retires, Greg Gard named interim HC, then hired as HC after taking team to Sweet Sixteen (which he repeats in 17) At what point, exactly, was it possible that the Badgers "could have had Tony Bennett?" That's pure fantasy, unless you think they should have fired the most successful Badger coach ever in either '03, '06 or '09 to make a play for him. Because once Tony got the Virginia job he was set, and at the point when Bo retired, he was already wildly successful with the Hoos. Unless he goes to the NBA at some point, that's where he's staying. Meanwhile, Gard is already recognized as one of the best coaches in the country. Like Dick and Tony and Bo he's a program builder. Wisconsin is in very good hands with him.
