Controversy has been buzzing recently in the hood and on the streets of Madison as allegations that 90s reggae and rap star Ini Kamoze has information about UW men's basketball operations of which head coach Bo Ryan is unaware. In a collection of works published by the self-proclaimed lyrical gangster in 1994, Kamoze stated on a number of occasions that he knows what Bo don't know,"" though the nature and sensitivity of the knowledge in question is vague at best.
Despite the fact that nothing has been made of this claim since it was made over a decade ago, remarks by Ryan at a number of his press conferences since taking the head coaching position at the University of Wisconsin suggest that he is often unaware of who his opponents are beyond the next one on the schedule. As recently as February 2009, Ryan admitted after a victory over Ohio State that he had ""no idea who we [were] playing after Indiana on Thursday.""
Similar responses in a number of other interviews have suggested that Ryan only prepares his players for their next opponent and no further. This leaves open the real possibility that anyone with access to a current men's basketball schedule or UWBadgers.com may in fact know what Bo don't know, including Kamoze. However, how Kamoze knew he would know more than Bo would know six years before Ryan took the position at Wisconsin, and why he felt the need to flaunt it remains unclear.
