Division I coach with at least 15 years experience• Two-year record of 41-19 (.683) at Wisconsin• One of just four coaches to earn Big Ten coach of

the Year honors in consecutive seasons • Most wins in first two seasons of any UW coach• Only the third coach in Big Ten history to win

conference titles in each of his first two seasons• Led the Badgers to first back-to-back conference

titles since 1923 and ‘24.• Led UW to school-record tying 22 wins, including

12 Big Ten wins (also tying a school record)• 23 Big Ten wins in first two seasons ties Walter

Meanwell’s UW record• Has won 10 conference titles in his 18-year

coaching career• All-time winningest coach in Division III history

(353-76, .822)• Led UW-Platteville to four national titles• Has had just one sub-.500 season in his career

(1984-85, his first season at UW-Platteville)

In his two seasons atWisconsin, head coachBo Ryan has led the

Badgers to heights notreached in Madison inmany years.

Last year, Ryan led anundermanned UW team toan improbable share of itsfirst Big Ten championshipsince 1947.

Heading into this sea-son, many wondered whatRyan and the Badgerscould do for an encore. Allthey did was win the BigTen title outright, going 12-

4 in the league to earn the first back-to-back Big Ten titles forWisconsin since 1923 and ‘24. It is the first time UW has wonthe title outright since 1947 and just the third time since 1918.

Ryan and the Badgers have won 22 games overall thisseason, tying the school record set in 1998-99 and equaled in1999-2000. This is the first time in school history the UW haswon 22 games in the regular season. The Badgers’ 12 Big Tenvictories also tied a school record.

For all those accomplishments, Ryan was honored bybeing selected the Big Ten’s Coach of the Year. He also wonthe award as a rookie, becoming just the fourth head coach inconference history to be named coach of the year in consecu-tive seasons.

Already the winningest first-year head coach in UW his-tory with 19 victories last season, Ryan added more impres-sive numbers this season. His 41 wins in his first two seasonssurpassed Dick Bennett’s 35 for the most of any second-yearhead man and his 23 Big Ten wins in two seasons tied basket-ball hall of famer Walter Meanwell’s school record for second-year coaches.

Ryan came to Madison after two seasons at the helm ofUW-Milwaukee. After inheriting a team that went 8-19 theprevious year, Ryan led the Panthers to a combined 30-27record in his two years.

Prior to taking the UWM job, Ryan spent 15 very success-ful years at UW-Platteville. He guided the Division III schoolto a phenomenal 353-76 (.822) record and four national cham-pionships. His career winning percentage is the highest inDivision III history.

His Platteville teams won eight conference titles and werethe winningest NCAA men’s basketball team of the 1990s (alldivisions) with a 266-26 (.908) record. In 1994-95 and 1997-98,Ryan’s teams completed undefeated seasons.
