Wisconsin men's basketball team posts opening for head coaching job

MADISON, Wis. -- Wisconsin interim coach Greg Gard might want to update his cover letter.

The school has posted an opening for a men's basketball coach, a sign that Gard could be one step closer to replacing Bo Ryan on a permanent basis.

A job posted Thursday on the university's human resources website sought applications for the position by March 3, with an earliest anticipated start date of March 8, which is the day before the start of the Big Ten tournament.

"Um, I think I might," Gard said with a smile after practice Friday about applying for the job.
