Look for new rules as season tips off
L

ooking for a break from the daily practice routine, a change of pace from the preseason humdrum, Wisconsin head coach Greg Gard decided to go retro. By stacking the scout team with former Badger basketball players, he gave birth to a couple of Throwback Thursdays. “I know our guys were getting a little antsy and edgy constantly playing against the same faces for the last 20 days,” Gard said. “It was good to break up the monotony of practice.” Assistant coaches Joe Krabbenhoft, 32, and Alando Tucker, 35, were the cornerstones of the most recent alumni rotation that included Bronson Koenig, Mike Wilkinson, Keaton Nankivil, Ben Brust and Aaron Moesch. Gard has always made a point of welcoming back the program’s alums. “It also helps when you have two guys on your staff who can still play pretty well,” Gard said of Tucker, the school’s all-time leading scorer; and Krabbenhoft, one of the few players in UW history to finish his 136-game
career with at least 750 rebounds and 250 assists. “Playing against older, experienced guys is such an educational piece for our guys. From how their games grow when they leave and what they acquire from their professional careers, there’s a savviness and understanding of how to play. We’ve gotten knocked around a little bit, which is good.” Physicality is part of the game, especially in the Big Ten. But at the start of every college basketball season, there’s a discussion on what’s good for the sport. Has it become too physical? How do you clean up post play? How do you open up the floor for a more free-flowing attack? To this end, the NCAA rules committee has responded by extending the 3-point line from 20 feet, 9 inches to the international distance of 22 feet, 1 ¾ inches at the top of the arc and 21 feet, 7 7/8 inches in the corners. The intent is to create better spacing for offenses by forcing defenses to extend. At the Big Ten’s Media Day in early October, Gard was asked
about the new distance and how it might potentially impact the league this season. “Our players have seemed to adapt to it really easily,” he said, “and I don’t think it’s going to be maybe as big of an adjustment as what it’s perceived to be.” Gard had some questions of his own. Does it change defensive concepts? Does it bring more zone into play? Do teams squeeze the floor and pack it in even more? “It will be interesting to see what the (3-point shooting) percentages do,” he said. “I think they may dip a little bit.” Beyond officials making a fashion statement with fancy raglan style shoulders, there’s a new NCAA rule on resetting the shot clock to 20 seconds if the offense hits the rim and retains possession and there’s a point of emphasis on calling players for traveling, a much-abused violation. “Traveling has been our worst call in college basketball the last five or six years,” maintained Curtis Shaw, the Big 12 coordinator of officials. “We have put in a policy this year that excessively
missed traveling can result in referees being held accountable. “We’ve got to get it out of the game, or the defense has no chance.” Another new rule on “flopping” may create as much confusion as the “Hook and Hold.” After one team warning, the penalty for flopping/faking is a Class B technical which is one shot and play is resumed (the same penalty for hanging on the rim or being outside the coaches’ box). The NCAA’s rationale: “To eliminate players attempting to deceive the officials by faking being fouled …” To reiterate, if Player A is whistled for flopping, the team is warned. If Player B from that team is then guilty of head bobbing (or any kind of delay), the penalty is enforced, and a free throw is shot. If a player collects three Class B technicals in the same game, he’s ejected. At the Big 12 Media Day last week, Shaw discussed the rule makers’ objectives and mandate on deception. “They’re tired of the acting, tired of the drama,” he said. “We don’t want players to have to embellish or fake in order to get calls … They want it out of the game.” Shaw cited an example. “You could flop, get stepped on, get dunked on and get called for a technical foul,” he said, adding there are three applications of the rule. “And we’re going to try to make them a severe penalty at first because players will adjust and stop when they know it’s a penalty.” Deception could apply to 1) a jump shooter falling to the floor
without being touched in an exaggerated attempt to get to the free throw line 2) a defender “sitting down” while trying to draw a charge with minimal contact and 3) a feigned head snap or head bob on the offensive player. It does seem like officials will be overburdened with even more judgement calls. Particularly since the block/charge ruling is already a coin flip in many cases. “On all three of these (applications), they are judgement,” Shaw said. “We have to rule whether the contact was sufficient for the act.” The Big 12 is a different animal than the Big Ten which prides itself on toughness, not finesse.
“WE’VE ALWAYS TRIED TO BE THE MOST PHYSICAL TEAM THAT WE CAN BE. IF YOU’RE GOING TO GO UP STRONG, YOU’RE GOING TO GO THROUGH CONTACT. YOU DON’T SHY AWAY FROM IT.” “We’ve always tried to be the most physical team that we can be,” Krabbenhoft said. “We don’t teach that (flopping). We never have. We’ve always taught, ‘Take it in the chest if you’re taking a charge.’ If you’re going to go up strong, you’re going to go through contact. You don’t shy away from it. “We take a lot of charges because our guys aren’t afraid to get hit. We play the game the way it’s supposed to be played. That’s the way Coach Gard has taught it. That’s the way Coach (Bo) Ryan taught it when I
played. And we’ll continue to do it that way.” Meanwhile, the Nov. 5 season opener will match kindred spirits in Saint Mary’s College of California and Wisconsin. Both programs rank among the most consistent winners in the country. Both are known for their fundamentally sound approach to game management. “We have very similar numbers as far as pace of play and offensive and defensive efficiency,’’ said Krabbenhoft, who has already begun assembling a scouting report on the Gaels who have gone to 12 straight postseason tournaments and have won 29, 29, 30 and 22 games over the last four years. “On paper, it’s a really good matchup because there are a lot of similarities.’’ Head coach Randy Bennett has 436 wins during his 18 seasons at Saint Mary’s, a West Coast Conference member located in Moraga (less than 20 minutes from Oakland). Among its most famous alums are Matthew Dellavedova, Patty Mills and Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Corbin Burnes. Although Saint Mary’s is overshadowed by Gonzaga, Bennett has the makings of one of his best and deepest teams. The Gaels return four starters (88.5 percent of their scoring). Plus, they have two newcomers from Australia, three players coming off injuries and a transfer from Cincinnati. The latter, guard Logan Johnson, was granted an NCAA waiver to play immediately. Small world, huh? ▪

BY A.J. HARRISON ▪ UW BRAND COMMUNICATIONS
Last weekend Wisconsin captured only its third Big Ten championship. What does it mean to bring the title back to Madison? “Being born and raised in Wisconsin, I grew up cheering on all Badgers sports. To be able to represent Wisconsin these past four years has been a dream come true, and there is no better feeling than bringing a championship back home to Madison. I am so proud of this team and all the resilience we’ve shown to adversity, but also how we’ve handled and managed our success.” The Badgers have been very successful playing in Madison. What has been the key to your home success? “It has been such an advantage playing at home this season just because of the energy the fans have brought every game. I think there is a growing excitement surrounding women’s soccer in the United States following the World Cup this summer and it has been very evident out at McClimon. We take pride in protecting our home turf and we will look to continue that as our season continues.” Your freshman season, you played with Badger legend Rose Lavelle. How was it watching one of your former teammates shine on at the World Cup? “Rose is unreal. The world got a chance to see what a talented soccer player she is, but what not everyone gets to see is what an awesome person she is. Rose is one of the funniest, most genuine, and hard-working teammates I’ve ever had. I got to spend some time with her the past week and it’s so cool to see that even with all her recent success she hasn’t changed a bit. She constantly supports our entire program and is so proud to be a Badger. Seeing all of her hard work pay is incredible and no one deserves the recognition more than she does.” What are your plans after you graduate? “I plan to graduate in May 2020 with a degree in Neurobiology. Although I am still considering a few different career paths, I am ultimately hoping to pursue a career in Medical Device Sales.” Click to read more »

Badgers pathway to meaningful careers and opportunities Career and Leadership leads student-athletes to bright futures BY MAYA SHEA ▪ UW BRAND COMMUNICATIONS
W
isconsin Athletics prides itself on providing student-athletes with all the necessary tools to succeed on and off the field. The efforts from the Athletic Department extend beyond the game and into the classroom to ensure that our student-athletes can go on to secure meaningful careers that set them up for a lifetime of success. Through several branches of student services, including Career and Leadership, Academic Services and the W Club, Badgers student athletes have endless resources to connect them with professional opportunities. The first professional development event of the year came in early September at Student-Athlete Career Night. Over 60 companies from numerous industries came to engage with student-athletes and talk to them about internship and full-time career opportunities. This included several past letter winners from the W Club attending the event with their current employers to connect with student athletes and provide further opportunities. Alan Sweet, a senior on the Wisconsin men’s tennis team, utilized the career fair and made meaningful connections with employers that led to him accepting a full-time position after graduation. “I’d like to thank the Athletic Department for
opening so many doors for me throughout my job search post-graduation,” said Sweet. “From helping me out with edits to my resume to getting in touch with company recruiters, this opportunity wouldn’t have been possible without the help of the career and leadership team along the way.” Throughout the course of the semester, the Athletic Department has continued to host events for student-athlete career development, including an Entrepreneurship Panel in late September. At this panel were notable alumni including co-founder of Team Rubicon and Pat Tillman Award for Service ESPY winner Jake Wood. Wood discussed his team's efforts of integrating veterans back into civilian life post-service through providing disaster relief to affected communities. Badgers were able to hear from and network with several other former student-athletes throughout the night. “We are very committed to our goal of 100 percent meaningful career outcomes for our student-athletes and this fall we have been able to put together some great events to help us reach that objective,” said Director of Employer Relations & Corporate Partnerships Nick Pasquarello.

hen junior guard Brad Davison heard that the players were going to pay a home visit to Howard Moore — the first face-to-face meeting with their beloved assistant coach since a horrific car accident in the early morning hours of May 25 had claimed Moore’s wife Jennifer and 9-year-old daughter Jaidyn — Davison couldn’t contain his excitement. “I just wanted to give him a hug,” he said. This was right after Father’s Day in June; right after the team had regrouped on campus for summer workouts; right after head coach Greg Gard had held a heart-to-heart session with everyone about the Moore family tragedy, which had shook the program to its core on Memorial Day weekend. Moore and his 13-year-old son Jerell were the only survivors of the crash. “First of all, I was really excited to see Coach Moore because you heard everything about the accident and for the whole time, I just wanted to talk to him and hear his perspective,” Davison related. “That being said, there was a little uncertainty going into it because you just didn’t know what to say.” Senior Brevin Pritzl, who drove a handful of his teammates to Moore’s home in Middleton, remembered dealing with some understandable anxiety and thinking, “We’ve got to be
ready for anything — it was such a traumatic experience — you’ve got to be mentally in the right frame of mind because you’re going to have to cope with that.” One of the passengers in Pritzl’s car was junior point guard D’Mitrik Trice, who recalled, “The ride over there was a little nerve-racking. It was very silent, very quiet. The coaches tried to explain to us that we just needed to be ourselves because, ‘Coach Moore is like he has always been.’” Gard had tried to prepare them for the home visit from that standpoint, but he acknowledged, “I think they were uneasy and nervous about what they were going to see and what they were going to hear from Coach Moore and how he was going to be different.” Moore was waiting at the door when the players arrived, and he gave them each a hug. After some lighthearted banter about a movie he had been watching (Russell Crowe starring as “Noah” in a depiction of Noah’s Ark), Moore eventually addressed the elephant in the room. “We didn’t say a whole lot … Coach Moore did most of the talking … exactly the way it should have been,” Davison said. “He told us the story of the accident and he didn’t leave out any details. The bravery and courage and trust and genuineness of his story was incredible. It left us all speechless.”
Throughout the visit, Moore went out of his “He literally told every single one of us someway to put everyone at ease. thing that we had to do better for the upcom“It’s really powerful to see a man who went ing year,” said Pritzl, who was encouraged to through such a traumatic experience,” Prit“shoot more and don’t be hesitant.” zl said, “and he cares so much for us that he Wisconsin’s only tendered freshman Tyler was trying to look out for us as soon as we got Wahl was in the room and Pritzl said, “I rememthere.

He was making jokes and laughing. It was a blessing to see, honestly, and an eye-opening experience.” It didn’t take long, Davison observed, for Moore to put on his game face. Moore even talked about rejoining the team in September. “Somehow,” Davison said, “you knew that he was going to get it all back to basketball.” Morphing into teacher/coach mode, Moore exhorted individual players to work on their games. “He took me off to the side, just me and him, and he told me what he expects to see out of me,” Trice said. “He talked about leadership and how the ball was going to be in my hands a lot this year.” No one was spared.

“After the heart attack, knowing that Howard wasn’t going to be coaching with us this year, we kind of took his message from that night and arrived at this,” Gard said of the word play. “It encapsulates what his message was and what he wanted this group to take from his experience.” Do Moore. Be Moore. 4 Moore. The game uniforms will feature a “4MOORE” patch with the names of Jen and Jaidyn. The full saying will also be on the back of the shooting t-shirts that the players wear during warmups. And they will be on wristbands the players will wear when they’re not on the court. The coaches will also wear pins bearing that message. “Part of Coach Moore’s message to the team at his home was, ‘Don’t compromise any day. Don’t take anything for granted,’” Gard said. “That’s sometimes thrown around a lot, even cliché in nature at times. But this was a real-life experience that really put a light on that meaning.” Do Moore. Be Moore. “It really embodies what Coach Moore was always about,” Pritzl said. “Do Moore?

Your memories of them are always going to be there. In times of sadness, you’re going to draw on them and you’re going to remember the good times.” Pritzl added the uniform patch
will be a good reminder. “If you’re struggling or having a bad moment,” he said, “you can look down at it or glance at your teammate and see it, and there’s going to be something you can remember about the Moores and always keep in the back of your mind.” Trice believes the Moore tribute — the words, in particular — will be a “symbol of strength” for this team as it prepares for the upcoming season, beginning with Friday night’s exhibition game against UW-La Crosse at the Kohl Center. “Obviously you’re representing more than just yourself,” Trice said of the meaning behind the words. “It will bring us back to the moment. It will bring us into the now and why we’re playing the game and why we’re dedicating the season to Coach Moore and what he has been through.”

Davison has a good idea what it’s going to be like when he puts on his game jersey. “I think I will get emotional the first time that I put it on and probably every time after that,” he said. “A lot of people talk about our team and if we have an external chip on our shoulder because of where we are preseason ranked in the Big Ten (second division) and because of this and that and that … “For us, personally, external chips are so small when you can play for an internal purpose. The patch or the wrist bands or the t-shirts will be a reminder of why we do what we do, why we play the game of basketball, why it’s such a privilege and opportunity to represent a university like Wisconsin. “Coach Moore wore that same jersey,” Davison was now saying in reference to Moore being a former basketball letterwinner and UW graduate. “And it’s an internal chip or internal drive that far outweighs any external chip that anybody could put on us.” Since the start of preseason drills, Davison confided, “There are certain moments in prac-
tice where you feel his presence (Moore’s) is missing more than others because there were certain things he always did, and it was kind of his role in practice.” When the players were shooting free throws at the end of practice at both ends of the floor, Moore would stand under one basket and count them out, “One here, two here, three here …” “The first time I shot and made it,” Davison said, “Trevor (Anderson) and I looked at each other, and we said it, ‘One here.’ And then everyone would say it, ‘Two here, three here, four here.’” Every once in a while, Pritzl will think of one of Moore’s corny, but favorite sayings. “He’d come up to you and say, ‘What’s the dill, pickle?’” he said. “He’d say it and make you giggle every time.’ Trice has been on that wavelength, too. “That has been something that Coach Moore has said since my freshman year,” Trice noted. “He’d say it all the time … when we were in the meeting room … before a game.
“It goes back to Coach Moore being Coach Davison has been grateful for the interaction Moore.” with Jerell, who was in the habit of attending And that is who they found waiting for them some practices with his dad and games with on his doorstep in mid-June. his mom and younger sister.
