Former Maryland head men's basketball coach Gary Williams and retiring Wisconsin head coach Bo Ryan have a good bit in common. Williams coached Maryland for 22 years, while Ryan has now been coaching the Badgers for 15. Both men coached their teams to Final Fours and became fan base heroes over a combined 37 seasons at their schools.
Ryan announced his retirement after Wisconsin beat Texas A&M – Corpus Christi on Tuesday night.
"I was surprised like everybody else," Williams said. "I knew he was thinking about leaving coaching. He's [turning] 68, I was 67 when I stopped.
