Badger Bits: Barry Davis resigns; NCAA (still) hates Wisconsin; men’s hockey flounders

According to uwbadgers.com, Wisconsin wrestling coach Barry Davis resigned on Monday and will coach the Badgers through the NCAA championships March 15–17.

Davis coached Wisconsin for 25 years and achieved a long string of accolades, including being named the 2010 National Coach of the Year and coaching eight Big Ten champions and three NCAA champions. However, he did not win a team national championship.

In our fan survey a few months ago, many Badger fans took the opportunity to share their disappointment in Davis. They saw a program that was stagnating but should be a national title contender.
