Ryan has done a fantastic job at wisconsin!
His job is totally safe.
As 'kiowamohican' and some of the Vegas basketball betting 'sharps' detailed in their analysis of that Cornell game, the Badgers just matched up horribly. You can't blame the coach when you simply don't match up. Ryan is an outstanding basketball coach, who gets the very most of the talent he has. Hopefully he will get some prize recruits down the road. If he has top talent, I'll put him up against any of the big name coaches.

sarahB:
The coach can revoke a scholarship at any time, if he deems behavior detromental to the team. They are NOT guaranteed for the 4 years you are there. It's the classic 'code of conduct' clause, much like most people have at their place of employment. If you do anything which viotates that code of conduct, you can be dismissed from the team, and your scholarship revoked. The player can appeal that, but it often is final if the coach revokes it.

The thing that is pretty remarkable about Cornell beating the Badgers is that in the Ivy League there are NO sholorships for athletics. So all those kids are playing with no scholarship! That is really something to beat a power coference team that has prize recruits, and full scholarship athletes. If they would beat kentucky tha would be an upset beyond belief. considering Kentucky has 3 guys who were McDonalds all Americans, and likely top 10 NBA draft picks!

Good. Now we can get onto the Indians in town to beat the Brewers.

tracco - don't make yourself look like a bigger idiot. Bo Ryan has already been past the Sweet 16. 2005 Elite 8, Wisconsin nearly took down eventual champion UNC, a UNC team that was loaded with pro talent.

Oh well, the hockey team is better this year anyways. They head into their tourney as a #1 seed. Go Bucky!

Most scholarships are not guaranteed for all four years. Each year following the season the players meet with their coaches and at that time they are renewed, scaled back or eliminated. In the main sports they are almost always renewed but given the circumstances of those two jokers, Bo should have those scholarships back to give to additional players.

I think Bo Ryan is a great coach and needs to stay right where he is. I also think Cornell is a much better team than most people thought. We had to shoot from the outside because Cornell's man-to-man defense kept us from getting inside. Look at how many times we fought to get the ball inside only to have to force an outside shot as the shot clock counted down to nearly zero. I do have a question for those that follow the Badgers more thoroughly than me: Did Wisconsin reuse the scholarships that had gone to the two freshmen who were booted from the team during early fall semester after they were charged with burglarizing dorm rooms?

Stick to pocket pool tracco6...you know nothing about basketball! Ryan is an excellent coach who typically takes his teams MUCH farther than they are anticipated to go. It was nankivil who hacked his way to playing only 5 minutes, It was Trevon turning the ball over and launching air balls. It was Taylor only seeing limited minutes due to fouls in the first half. If a coach is only judged by how far his team goes in the tourney then the likes of Bill Self @ Kansas, Roy Williams @ North carolina and Jim calhoun @ UCONN are bad coaches who should be looking for a D-3 job.

tracco6 - If you think Bo Ryan is the problem, you are a complete moron that knows nothing about the game. It's that simple.

Go Badgers! We still love you.

Tracco, you're an idiot - so you want to fire Bo Ryan and bring in......??? I know you're mad we lost, but stop throwing your little tantrum and reread what you posted. I'm guessing you probably thought UW was wrong in not keeping Brad Soderberg after Dick Bennett left? Bo is a great coach who makes lemonade out of lemons. Last time I checked, Wisconsin was not the #1 destination for top high school players with the Dukes, UConns and Floridas of the world. Bravo to the Badgers on a great season and for overcoming a LOT of adversity to give us a solid product yet again.

tracco6, do you read your posts before posting, or just ramble and post.

thats right a bunch of nobodies that dont perform in the big dance.mark my words good during the season bommb in the big dance.he will never make past the sweet 16. never enough talent.go back to division 3. has he ever made it past the sweet 16 no.you people think getting to the tourney is enough, not any more. get some talent in there bo.we need somme good power forwards ahd a good big man.not these 6 10 3 point shooting players they live and die withthat 3 pointer.also would it kill them to playzone once in awhile when the man to man isnt working like yesterday

Bo is a solid coach who has delivered a good program of basketball at UW.
We just don't have the "tradition" to build anything more than we've seen.....once in a while we get embarrassed....enjoy the big picture....

Bo Ryan is a excellent coach. They had a great season. We can not win all the time. I was disappointed as well, but I love my Badgers. Bo is great and there will be next year.

Have to hand it to my man....the poster on this blog known as 'kiowamohican'
Not only did he say Cornell would win the game, he said they would 'destroy them by double digits!'.
He is at the top of many major bracket contests after today.
I think he is the only person in the country who called N Iowa over UNLV, and then over KU!

Get rid of Bo? Are you an idiot? He's one of the best coaches in all of college basketball! Lest we forget that Wisconsin did not garner a single vote in any polls at the beginning of the season. Bo took a bunch of nobodies and made them into a top 25 team.

Cornell is highly under-seeded because they're an Ivy League team, they've obviously proven their last two games they can play with anyone in the country. In fact, during the regular season, they nearly beat Kansas at Kansas! Wisconsin struggled down the stretch at home and on the road; it seemed like once Leuer came back they couldn't get that same rhythm going again they had early in the season. You can't blame the coach for Hughes turning over the ball more than a half-dozen times and Bohannon going 1-15 combined against Illinois and Wofford. Wisconsin has a very young and athletic team, and has a lot of promise for the next few years. Leuer is a stud, and Taylor has potential to be one of the best guards in the Big 10 next season.

Typical bo Ryan team good at home. go on the road and lose a game they should win. they isnt any consistency with this team.they really dont have great athletes on this team.all they do is like to shoot the 3 pointer.after jon leuer who do they have thats any good on this team. its time for wisconsin to get rid of bo. youre judged on how far you make it in this tourney, and bo has taken this team nowhere.
