Racial comments allegedly used in presence of former Badger, Kobe King

We are about a week removed from redshirt sophomore Kobe King’s announcement that he was leaving the Wisconsin basketball program.

Since then, further information has been brought to the forefront in regard to his decision to leave. King had cited that he had doubts about playing for head coach Greg Gard dating back to his freshman season. King also told the Wisconsin State Journal’s Jim Polzin that he did not like the way that the basketball team was spoken to.

King also cited that he had multiple meetings with Gard throughout the season and things were not improving.
