Badgers men’s basketball: Often-overlooked managers important to players | Wisconsin Badgers men’s basketball | host.madison.com

On game days, student managers such as Alex Hayden can be spotted setting out chairs at timeouts or making sure water bottles are ready for players when they get to the bench.

First-year managers are unpaid, while veterans receive an hourly salary that begins at minimum wage with slight increases based on experience.
