Happy Birthday, Bo

Basketball Coach Bo Ryan turned 60 years old today. Happy Birthday to the man who says 60 is the new 40. He also had the following thoughts to share about retirement:

"Why should retirement come up in a conversation? It doesn't make any sense to me," he said.

"The most important thing is that the players know that what you're doing is in their best interests and your attention to detail and what you're trying to get them to do is consistent," Ryan continued.

It's all about making sure his players get what they need to succeed as student-athletes at Wisconsin. Ryan's record at Wisconsin (150-57) shows he has done that as well as any coach in the Big Ten Conference since he arrived in Madison in 2001. He also knows his system has stood, and should continue to stand, the test of time


Sure doesn't sound like a man ready to stop anytime soon.
