Greg Gard will be named head coach of the Wisconsin men’s basketball team — there is no way around it. No more interim label, no more audition and no more need for endorsements from coach’s around the country.
After 23 years as a college assistant, Gard has been awarded the job after the work he’s done with the Badgers this season.
Gard entered his time as interim head coach with the mindset that it wasn’t going to be about him.
