Joe Krabbenhoft promoted to associate head coach
Earlier this week, Wisconsin men’s basketball officially announced that assistant coach Joe Krabbenhoft is being promoted to associate head coach of the program.
Now entering his seventh year on the Badgers coaching staff, the South Dakota native has served as a mentor to players and helped lead Wisconsin to two Big Ten regular-season championships and an NCAA Tournament appearance in all but one season while on staff.
“Joe has been integral to our sustained success as one of the nation’s most consistent programs,” Badgers head coach Greg Gard said in Wisconsin’s official press release. “He continues to check every box you could possibly want in a coach, recruiter, teacher, and mentor for our student-athletes. He has a superb understanding of who we are, who we need to be, and what and who makes us successful on and off the court at Wisconsin.”
I’m really grateful to Coach Gard and Wisconsin athletic department,” Krabbenhoft said in the press release. “Wisconsin means so much to me and it has provided me and my family with so many opportunities. It gave me the chance to play, earn a degree, a job, and a place to call home. I want to continue to pay that forward and enhance the lives of our players and give back to our program, the university, and this community.”
