Badger assistant Greg Gard is staying with the Wisconsin men's basketball team after not being hired as the head coach at UW-Green Bay.
The new head coach of the Pheonix will be Brian Wardle; who has been an assistant at UWGB for the past five years. Because of the hire Gard will return to the Badgers as associate head coach.
There were some that thought that he could possibly land the head coaching job in Green Bay after Wisconsin head coach Bo Ryan stumped for Gard.
This means that the coaching staff in Madison will remain intact heading into next season. Gard was the only key player on the staff that was possibly leaving for another job. Gard will possibly be out there again for a coaching job next season after the 2010-2011 basketball season concludes. I won't be to surprised to see Bo Ryan out there campaigning for Gard again next season.
