Gard rewarded for hard work, named associate head coach of UW men’s basketball

The high school coach of University of Wisconsin men’s basketball recruit Robert Wilson kept it simple when he explained why he thinks the Badgers have been so successful.

He gave a great deal of the credit to the recruiting prowess of assistant coach Greg Gard.

“Greg Gard spotted talent before the other teams had an idea. That shows you why Wisconsin wins,” said Garfield Heights (Ohio) coach Sonny Johnson when Wilson made his initial commitment to play for Wisconsin.
