"Jordan Taylor likes to run and grab you, and then throw his head back and try to get a call. If you set a pick, they take a dive. They cheat the game."
It ain't cheating unless you get caught.
Maybe its because I'm a Wisconsin fan but everything said in this article is why I respect the Badgers. They make it tough to play against them.

First off, it came from a piece by Seth Davis. Seth Davis has always hated how Wisconsin plays. I'm sure he loved getting these comments.
Second, this assistant or HC should not be getting paid to evaluate basketball. (Actually I believe it is coming from two different people). Anyone who says Bruesewitz has had a fabulous season clearly hasn't been paying attention. He has struggled a ton this year unfortunately.
And mug you out of the building?? MSU and Purdue mug teams out of the building. Wisconsin doesn't even play pressure defense. Jordan Taylor almost never gets calls for as much as he handles the ball. Any call he receives is very warranted, he gets ridden up and down the court in the B1G. And the reason they lost to Davidson and Cornell was because those two teams played much better than Wisconsin. Not because of the refs. The refs had zero to do with either of those games and Wisconsin didn't get called for more fouls than normal in those games.
And dives on picks??? When? I have never seen that. Nobody dives on picks for Wisconsin, they usually just switch.
I'm assuming these either came from Crean/Crean Assistant or McCaffery/McCaffery Assistant. Neither like the style Wisconsin plays and Crean doesn't like Bo.
Either way, some completely erroneous comments. "Cheat the game" lol. Hilarious. Sour grapes from Wisconsin's dominance in the conference the last 11 years and Bo being the all time winningest B1G coach.

We asked Dakich if he agreed with anything Coach Anonymous had to say about the Badgers.
"There is a dumbass assistant coach somewhere opening up his mouth, I mean if you want to know the truth," Dakich said. "Because anyone who has ever been a head coach and take what Bo Ryan does every single moment of every single minute of every single day – when you are an assistant coach you think you know everything. So you open your mouth. So my comment is, who cares what some dumbass assistant coach cares about Wisconsin’s style of play? The dude’s won more games than that guy will ever think about winning. Whoever that guy is."
Dakich said basketball is not just offense.
"You’ve got be able to guard, you have got be able to pass, you’ve got to catch," Dakich said. "There is a skill level there. That’s what Wisconsin does. Now, I do think they do go to Jordan Taylor late in the clock. I have thought that for a couple of years. So I’ll go along with that part. I will say that in the last couple of games, I thought they have moved the ball better. They move people better.
"But in terms of cheating the game, are you crazy?" Dakich said. "Bo Ryan does the exact opposite. Watch a warm-up. They pass, they catch, they work on skill. That’s not cheating the game. They guard you. That’s not cheating the game. They don’t grab people. I’ve been to a million of their games. They don’t grab people. I don’t walk away from a Wisconsin game saying, ‘Dang did they just mug their opponent?’ I’ve done a million games and I promise you this. I promise you that whatever assistant coach was stupid enough to say that, I promise you – I’m not even in the league, but I’ve watched more of Wisconsin than that guy does – and what he said about them is complete crap. Is that strong enough for you?"
This just confirms my love for Dakich.
