Athletic Board approves contract extensions for six Wisconsin Badgers coaches

Six University of Wisconsin head coaches had routine, one-year extensions to their contracts approved Friday by the Athletic Board.

Greg Gard (men's basketball), Jonathan Tsipis (women's basketball), Tony Granato (men's hockey) and Mark Johnson (women's hockey) had the end date of their five-year contracts pushed back to after the 2023-24 season.

Chris Bono (wrestling) and Yuri Suguiyama (men's and women's swimming and diving) had their three-year deals extended through the 2021-22 season.

The board approvals, made in closed session, were based on recommendations by athletic department officials.

After missing the NCAA tournament for the first time in 20 years in 2018, the Badgers men's basketball team went 23-11 and finished fourth in the Big Ten Conference but lost to Oregon in the NCAA first round.
