COACH OF THE YEAR:
Head Coach Greg Gard is the clear pick. Perhaps I’m biased, but Gard has done a phenomenal job at the University of Wisconsin keeping his locker room together after facing adversity before the season even started. The team stayed supportive of the Moore family through the tragic drunk driving car crash that caused the passing of the wife and daughter of Assistant Coach Howard Moore.
The crash left Howard Moore in critical condition and unable to come back to the team for the entirety of the season. The program announced that former Badger Alando Tucker would be the interim assistant coach in Moore’s absence.
