Ryan retired in 2016 after a 15-year run as Wisconsin’s head coach. He led the Badgers to a 364-130 overall record, 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 was annually regarded as one of the best coaches in the sport.

The coaching legend was already inducted into the Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame back in 2017. He will now earn the sport’s highest honor.

The enshrinement ceremony will be held on August 17, 2024 in Springfield, Massachusetts.
