Bo Ryan to Retire

[HammerDown]

It doesn't. He's been educated on what Bo actually said. Hammer is just trying to semi-troll to get comments. And it's working, so props to him on being a good capitalist.

Right. This thread is making me money. My opinions are all about profit.

I'm going to assume it has something to do with the way Bo Ryan handled the loss to Duke in the NCAA Championship game.

Anyone with class was embarrassed and ashamed of that. Would you want him representing your university? My guess is he was forced out.

Aside from Barry Alvarez, Bo is probably the most respected employee at the university. He was not forced out. Lol

Yeah, but come on. Smart was coaching at a mid-major. Texas was a huge upgrade over VCU. Bennett already coaches in what many consider the best basketball conference in the country. He has already proved that he can compete with the Dukes and UNC's. The facilities at UVa are second to none. Making a move to Wisky would be a lateral move at best. Yes, there is the sentimental aspect there, but Bennett has gone on record many times stating that Charlottesville is home.

Bennett isn't going anywhere where he will have to face Michigan State at least twice a year. He's already in therapy talking about the Big Bad Izzo, that might push him over the edge.

As an IU fan, I was pretty thrilled to hear it.

Figured I'd throw in another post for good measure.

I have never understood why people hate on Bo Ryan. The guy is a hell of a coach ... I'm guessing some people don't like him because he isn't afraid to speak his mind.

People don't hate him because he lacks coaching talent. He's great at that.

He's a jackass of a human being. That's why he's hated.

And this is based on what exactly? I have never met or seen a person who actually knew Bo and had a negative opinion of him. That includes his former players, the media, fellow coaches, opposing players, and friends of mine who know Bo. I heard all kinds of horror stories about Bielema when I lived in Madison. There was nothing bad anyone had to say about Bo.

I can think of four situations people cite to to claim Bo is an asshole, and every one of them either intentionally misconstrues what Bo actually said or leaves out a key portion of the story.

What makes him a jackass? All the people I know who have been around him say he's a great guy.

Thank you Jesus! Now Wiscy can leave more of the Illiinois players to stay home and play in the house of Paign.

Izzo needs to go. Ryan too. Tired of missing out on home state talent.

Bo is a prick - from what I've heard, but I will give him the fact that he ran that UK team out of the building with 4 white boys on the floor. And he doesn't rely on 4-5 star recruits.

Please retire Bo and good luck fishin

Illinois and Wisconsin don't cross paths very often in recruiting, and when we do Illinois usually wins.

The last guy that both teams went all out to get was Nnanna Egwu, and of course, you guys got him. It really hurt our program. Instead, we had to settle for our Plan B Center, a guy whose only high-major offer was Northwestern and who still was getting used to his height after growing from 6'3 to 6'10 in 18 months. His name was Frank Kaminsky...what ever happened to him?

Yeah I was gonna say.. Besides Kaminsky. Michael Finley is another beast I recall. Overall, the "legends" as I call them in the big 10 need to leave so we can have our players back at least in bball please.

THANK GOD. Never want to see his face in the Elite 8 again.

Big loss to Wisconsin, Ryan was a good coach for them.

Bo Ryan of Wisconsin Badgers 'not totally sure' he'll retire after 2015-16 season
