The Badgers legend retired in 2016 after a 15-year run that defined the Wisconsin basketball program. He led the program to a 364-130 overall record, plus 15 NCAA Tournament appearances, two Final Fours and one national championship game. He was also a four-time Big Ten Coach of the Year and 2017 Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame inductee.

Ryan joined ESPN’s Rece Davis and Jay Bilas immediately after the news was released and detailed his reaction:

“I was very emotional because of what it means to everybody that I’ve been associated with that has helped along the way”
