MADISON, Wis. (WMTV) - Wisconsin men’s basketball head coach Greg Gard has announced the addition of former Badger star Brad Davison to his coaching staff on Monday, as the Special Assistant to the Head Coach.

Davison takes over in the place of Kirk Penney, who made the decision to step away from his role, so he can return home to New Zealand and spend time with family.

“Our entire team and staff are grateful for the two seasons Kirk was able to spend with us and I thank him for his impact on Wisconsin Basketball,” Gard said. “He is a legend of this program and it was fun to see him extend the impact he had as a player to then a coaching role.”

Penney spent two years as part of the Badgers bench, following a career that etched him into the UW Hall of Fame.
