| 2 | (AP) -- Wisconsin men's basketball coach Bo Ryan now says he's ''not totally sure'' about whether he will retire after next season. |
| 3 | Post-Crescent Media reported Thursday (http://tinyurl.com/nwzxnhx ) that Ryan kept the door open to delaying retirement at an appearance at the U.S. Venture Open golf charity event. |
| 4 | In late June, the 67-year-old Ryan announced he planned to retire at the end of the next basketball season and said he hoped longtime assistant Greg Gard would be hired as his successor. |
| 5 | But he told reporters Wednesday at the charity golf outing that ''I haven't submitted any papers yet. |
| 6 | ''Well, I needed to get a statement out there knowing I wasn't able to tell recruits I could guarantee them four years and I wanted to be fair to our staff and Barry (Alvarez) and the athletic department,'' Ryan said. |
| 7 | ''Everybody kind of thinks they know when they're ready to retire, or step aside. |
| 8 | I'm not totally sure. |
| 9 | Ryan led Wisconsin to back-to-back Final Four appearances and took the team to last season's national championship game, where the Badgers were defeated by Duke. |
| 10 | He has posted a 357-125 record in 14 years at Wisconsin. |
| 11 | In his tenure, the Badgers have won more than 74 percent of their games every season. |
| 12 | In the 14 years before his arrival, they reached the NCAA Tournament only five times. |
| 13 | Ryan said Wednesday he wanted to see ''what happens in the next number of months'' before sticking with his original intent to retire. |
