Wisconsin basketball star Jonathan Davis thinks head coach Greg Gard needs to change a few things.
The Badgers have been consumed by chaos ever since a secretly recorded audio tape of players complaining to Gard leaked. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)
In the aftermath, former coach Alando Tucker was accused of attempting to orchestrate a coup against Gard. Tucker has since left the program.

This is a really messy situation for the Badgers and more than anything, I just wish it would go away. Ever since that audio tape leaked, Gard has been taking heat.
It’s been an incredibly unfortunate situation that never should have happened. Private conversations between coaches and players shouldn’t ever go public.

It’s nice to see that Davis, who is now likely our best player, supports Gard and the direction of the program, but why are we even talking about this?
Davis should have passed on the question and just moved on.
