The Wisconsin women’s basketball team is set to hire their first male head coach in program history, pending approval at Tuesday’s meeting of the Board of Regents, the Wisconsin State Journal reported Monday.

The man tasked with rebuilding the Badger program, which has floundered in recent years, is Jonathan Tsipis, who resigned as the head coach of George Washington’s women’s team Monday.

Tsipis, once the top assistant coach at Notre Dame, has overseen a rebirth in George Washington’s basketball program and was named Atlantic 10 Coach of the Year in 2015. Tsipis took over the terminal program and quickly turned them into a mid-major to be reckoned with.

After a season of transition, Tsipis and the Colonials posted a 78-22 record over the last three years, culminating with back to back seasons ending with Atlantic 10 regular season titles, tournament titles and NCAA tournament births.

In addition to his time at George Washington and Notre Dame, Tsipis has been an assistant coach for the men’s programs at Elon University, Le Moyne College and Cornell University. He got his start coaching as an undergraduate assistant for Coach Krzyzewski  at Duke during the 1995-96 season.

His experience rebuilding programs will be put to the test at Wisconsin. The Badgers have been at the bottom of the Big Ten for the better part of the last five years and just completed the third worst season in school history.

Tsipis’ first challenge will be to to get quality players in the program next season. Most of the team’s top scorers, including Michala Johnson, Nicole Bauman, and Dakota Whyte are graduating this May, and Tsipis may look at the transfer market for an influx of talent.

Time will tell to see how well Tsipis adjusts as main man in Madison. But from the looks of it, he has the experience to get the job done.
