Wisconsin athletics now has covetous stability at football, basketball, and hockey head coaching positions. The head coaches for football, men’s basketball, wrestling, men’s hockey, and women’s hockey all have firm foundations in the community, and will likely continue to write their own tickets for as long as they want to remain in Madison (barring a bizarre unexplained scandal of course).
Men’s Basketball: Head Coach Greg Gard had his contract extended through the 2021-2022 season. The Cobb, Wisconsin native completed his first full season as Wisconsin men’s basketball head coach in 2016-2017. Gard was the Associate Head Coach from 2001-2015.
