    Jerry Parrish here with Wisconsin head coach Greg Gar.

    0:16.5

    Greg, I was looking it up this morning.

    0:18.3

    Year 11.

    0:19.5

    Time flies, huh?

    0:20.6

    Time flies. Does it feel like it's flown by to you? Some days, yes. Some days, no. Other days, not so much. Yeah. No, it's been awesome. Obviously, we've had a lot of success and through the midst of major changes in college athletic. So that's been the unique part to watch us all evolve and

    0:38.2

    change you have had a lot of success the max number of NCAA tournaments you could have made is nine

    0:44.0

    so far you've made seven to what do you attribute that consistency i think just the the culture

    0:51.1

    is and i know that word gets thrown out a lot, but I think, you know, our success

    0:56.3

    over the last 30 years as a program, as you go back through, even previous head coaches, was tied

    Wisconsin is very much in that mode, and we've been able to retain and hold on to that culture even amidst all the changes

    1:29.8

    that are taking place in college basketball. Obviously, you were a part of that culture as an

    assistant with Bo Ryan, the Naismith Memorial Hall of Famer. What did you specifically take from him

    as you try to replace him, but also just keep going what it is he built and took

    1:47.4

    to a pretty good place. Right. Yeah, I think, you know, it's the teaching of the fundamentals,

    1:53.6

    I think obviously Bo was so well known for. And I think keeping that, like I said, the anchoring,

    1:58.4

    that's part of the culture, you know, of what we

    2:00.8

    want to be about. And really, I think, I've always thought the game has been, you know, overcoached

    2:06.4
