Secret recording has Wisconsin seniors criticizing Gard

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin's seniors were openly critical of coach Greg Gard during a late-season team meeting that was secretly recorded and sent to a newspaper.

The Wisconsin State Journal says it received a 37-minute audio file this week of a Feb. 19 team meeting that included seven senior players, Gard and three assistant coaches.

The newspaper said it received the recording from an anonymous email account and that it included only a portion of the actual meeting.

This appears to be the recorded team meeting between the Badgers seniors and coach Greg Gard that @JimPolzinWSJ first reported on for anyone interested in listening.https://t.co/68N106SWh4 https://t.co/LpyVBzHVVI
