Get bent, Wisconsin.

This is a bigger flop than Brad Davison ever did on the court. And that's saying something.

Best part of this article is this crap!

 

"Potter called out Gard for not having players’ backs, specifically Davison’s. Players — and some fans — felt Davison was being treated unfairly by Big Ten officials."

Two things I learned from that story:

 

1 - I have a newfound respect for Gard. He apparently dislikes the Wisky players almost as much as I do.

 

2 - Some people are delusional. Some people completely lose their grip on reality. Then there's people who would think this is true:

 

Potter called out Gard for not having players’ backs, specifically Davison’s. Players — and some fans — felt Davison was being treated unfairly by Big Ten officials.

 

I have no words.

 

EDIT: (lol - Jason 2486 beat me to it)

Of all the schools I'd like to make our "Whipping Boy" in the B1G, Bucky the Badger tops the list...

Except that Brad Davison isn't going to coach for some titleless NBA team and take them to the conference championship series.

Tough to do that when you stay in college for 17 years.

Not knowing all sides and all the back stories, it is tough to pass judgement.  But at the very least, this is an ugly mess that is hard for any coach to recover from.  But I guess if a certain coach from our near North can recover, then most any coach can.

Trouble brewing in the Wahoo High basketball program, eh? 

[49r]

Wahoo was DOMINANT back in the day.  Man those were some seriously good teams.

[royalfan]

that Pius Wahoo game was mind blowing.

Atkinson West Holt HS was scary good for a bit back in those days too.

Yep - played against them and had the honor of watching Bruce Chubick dunk right over the top of me.

Ogallala snapped their 114 game winning streak. Former Husker Jason Glock never lost a game in high school, not one.

It's a pay article but the takeaway is that apparently assistant Alando Tucker was undermining Gard because he wanted to be the head coach.

 

[throwback]

I mean, to be fair, this dude just kind of screams "undermine me."

Not sure how a coach can defend this.   It's not smart and clearly it's a pattern.
