Wisconsin continues to find athletic success in alumni hires

There is something unique about the nature of Wisconsin athletics.

It’s not the iconic “Jump Around” celebration after the third quarter at Camp Randall Stadium or the atmosphere of the Kohl Center for a Big Ten rivalry game — it’s that if you look on the sidelines, there’s a good chance several coaches, across multiple sports, went to the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

And the Wisconsin athletic department shows no signs of deviating from its current formula of prolonged athletic achievement through previous Badgers and in-state coaching staffs. Look, for example, at the recent alumni coaches that were hired for the men’s hockey team.
