In his two seasons atWisconsin, head coachBo Ryan has led the

Badgers to heights notreached in Madison inmany years.

Last year, Ryan led anundermanned UW team toan improbable share of itsfirst Big Ten championshipsince 1947.

Heading into this sea-son, many wondered whatRyan and the Badgerscould do for an encore. Allthey did was win the BigTen title outright, going 12-

4 in the league to earn the first back-to-back Big Ten titles forWisconsin since 1923 and ‘24. It is the first time UW has wonthe title outright since 1947 and just the third time since1918.

Ryan and the Badgers won 24 games this season, settinga school record. This is the first time in school history the UWhas won 22 games in the regular season. The Badgers’ 12 BigTen victories also tied a school record.

For all those accomplishments, Ryan was honored bybeing selected the Big Ten’s Coach of the Year. He also wonthe award as a rookie, becoming just the fourth head coach inconference history to be named coach of the year in consecu-tive seasons.

Already the winningest first-year head coach in UW historywith 19 victories last season, Ryan added more impressivenumbers this season. His 43 wins in his first two seasons sur-passed Dick Bennett’s 35 for the most of any second-yearhead man and his 23 Big Ten wins in two seasons tied basket-ball hall of famer Walter Meanwell’s school record for second-year coaches.

Ryan came to Madison after two seasons at the helm ofUW-Milwaukee. After inheriting a team that went 8-19 the previ-ous year, Ryan led the Panthers to a combined 30-27 record inhis two years.

Prior to taking the UWM job, Ryan spent 15 very success-ful years at UW-Platteville. He guided the Division III school toa phenomenal 353-76 (.822) record and four national champi-onships. His career winning percentage is the highest inDivision III history.

His Platteville teams won eight conference titles and werethe winningest NCAA men’s basketball team of the 1990s (alldivisions) with a 266-26 (.908) record. In 1994-95 and 1997-98, Ryan’s teams completed undefeated seasons.
