Wisconsin-Green Bay men’s basketball hires Bo Ryan’s son as coach

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Green Bay is turning its basketball program over to Will Ryan, the son of former Wisconsin coach Bo Ryan.

Athletic director Charles Guthrie announced Sunday that the school and Ryan have agreed to a deal in principle, though final contract details are still being worked out.

“Hiring leaders is about getting the right fit at the right time, and I have no doubt that Coach Ryan is exactly the right person to lead our program today and into the future,” Guthrie said in a statement.

The 41-year-old Ryan comes to Green Bay after posting a 14-13 record in his lone season as the head coach at Division II program Wheeling in West Virginia. He previously worked as an assistant at Ohio (2014-19) and North Dakota State (2007-14).

He worked on his father’s Wisconsin staff from 2002-07.
