An investigative report indicates Alando Tucker’s desire to be the head coach of the Wisconsin Badgers basketball program may have cut his Madison coaching career short.
The Journal-Sentinel reports Tucker went to then-athletic director Barry Alvarez during his first year, saying he was ready to replace Greg Gard.
Leaders of the U-W athletics department concluded Tucker wanted to advance his career at the expense of the program.
When he could have unified the locker room he caused tension instead as he tried to build a power base.
When he applied for the full-time assistant position after last season, he was told he wouldn’t be getting the job.
