Wisconsin’s men’s basketball program is in disarray after a 37-minute audiotape was sent to the Wisconsin State Journal.
“Did I waste a year of my life to come back here? I was planning on coming back, having a great year and making a Final Four run, all this kind of stuff and then this crap happens.
We’re not here to build your resume, so to speak, with all respect given.” – D’Mitrik Trice.
If it feels like drama at this program with Gard in charge is a recurring theme, you are correct.
Like clockwork, Wisconsin is doing damage control and has thrown their support behind Gard, although only one of the seven seniors that were in that meeting is coming back next season due to the NCAA giving players an extra year of eligibility because of the pandemic.
And keeping in the tradition of terrible coaches named Greg in the sport, Greg McDermott is still at Creighton after telling his team, “Guys, we got to stick together.
It felt like the situation and the plan Coach McDermott had for me was really good.
And last fall we found out that former Wichita State head coach Gregg Marshall could be a violent lunatic after it was alleged that he choked one of his assistants, punched a player, body-slammed another, and made fun of a third athlete’s Native American heritage.
And as the world is opening back up as coaches are on the road recruiting, very soon Greg Gard is going to sit in front of a player and his family and deliver his pitch.
