It was an interesting Thursday for two assistant coaches for the University of Wisconsin men’s basketball team. Rob Jeter headed to Milwaukee and signed a five-year deal to become the new UW-Milwaukee head coach. Gary Close, meanwhile, returned from Charleston, Ill., where he interviewed for the vacant head coaching job at Eastern Illinois
Suddenly, there appears to be a good possibility that UW head coach Bo Ryan will lose two-thirds of his respected coaching staff to teams nicknamed the Panthers.
