Jeff Gard has been the University of Wisconsin-Plattevilleâ??s head menâ??s basketball coach for less than two months, and his first game is almost three months away.
But the rookie head coach has showed that, at the very least, he knows how to make a splash of a hire.
UW-Platteville on Friday announced Gardâ??s first staff, and it includes former Wisconsin basketball star Sharif Chambliss, a member of the Badgersâ?? 2005 Elite Eight team.
