Bo Ryan Abruptly Retires

[Lynch Mob]

He was supposed to at the end of the season, but instead retires effective immediately. Why is this the year of retire now instead ofat the end of the season? This year's Wisconsin team is 7 -5 and looking good for postseason... Are we to assume that has everything to do with it?

He might have some health issues. He's 67 so he's not exactly old, but he's been the HC there since 2001.

Bo pulled a "Spurrier" in that he choose to resign now in order to give top assistant Greg Gard an opportunity to be the next head man at Wisconsin. Jim Calhoun pulled the same move at UConn and so did Dean Smith at UNC. This essentially forces the administration's hand in removing that interim label, should the interim guy see success.

I guess it's a noble move. But on the other hand, he's only 67 so it's not like he could be done coaching.
