Greg Gard listed in Top 50 of MBB head coaches

After what was arguably the most disappointing season for Greg Gard as a head coach, the College Basketball Report gave him a little love Monday, listing him as a top 50 MBB coach. Gard came in as the 38th best men’s basketball head coach in the country.

In total, Greg has gone 164-93 (63.8%) over eight seasons as the head coach of the Badgers, but the 2022-2023 campaign stirred up some calls for his job. The fans didn’t take kindly to the Badgers missing the NCAA Tournament for the second time in five years and felt like Wisconsin could be better off with someone else at the helm.

At the end of the day, Gard kept his job after Wisconsin reached the semifinals of the National Invitation Tournament (NIT), losing to the eventual victors North Texas 56-54.

Moving forward, the head coach will get the benefit of having his entire starting lineup return in 2023, while also launching the careers of highly-touted recruits forward Gus Yalden, forward Nolan Winter and guard John Blackwell.
