For the third straight year, former Wisconsin Badgers men’s basketball coach Bo Ryan has been named a finalist for the 2017 Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
Ryan joins 13 other finalists for this prestigious honor and will await the decision on who will be inducted in April. The announcement will be made at the Final Four in Phoenix prior to the National Championship game and enshrinement ceremonies in Springfield, Massachusetts are scheduled for Sept. 7-9.
“We are grateful to the 14 finalists in the Class of 2017 for the impact they have had on the game we cherish,” Basketball Hall of Fame Chairman Jerry Colangelo said.
