Greg Gard has, what we in the people business call, a big problem.
In case you missed it on Tuesday, a secret recording of a meeting with all seven of last year’s seniors and the coaching staff was leaked to Jim Polzin of the Wisconsin State Journal and, well, it was not a good look for Gard. Polzin also has an excellent column with his thoughts on the matter right here.
I have been thinking pretty hard about this incident, which sounds like it should’ve taken place in an episode of Scandal (topical reference, I know), instead of at a Big Ten basketball program, and I think I’ve come to my final conclusion.
