[Observing]

Bo Ryan is one of the best coaches in all of college basketball. Just don't think he gets the respect that he should, he has the badgers in the top 25 year after year. But seams to fly under the media radar for most part.

Ryan is one of the best coaches at controlling a game. Not so sure
I'd rank him as one of the best coaches period. His success is ALWAYS
predicated on iron discipline in controlling the tempo, and
waiting for the other teams to beat themselves. That's why
it's unlikely that hge will ever reach a Final Four. Somewhere
along the line you have to go out and play to WIN, not just
play to "not lose". If you don't, you meet a team that is playing to
win, and you go bye bye when they don't beat themselves.

Of course it could just be that Ryan has never enjoyed a roster
that oculd really stand toe to toe with legit top 10 teams, and
just plays that way out of sheer necessity. If he ever had
legit top 10 material, maybe he'd go for it.
