Deion Sanders Lauds Wisconsin HC for Channeling Inner Coach Prime in Post-Game Speech

Has the Prime Effect touched Wisconsin’s locker room? After all, it’s a cause for celebration as Greg Gard and his Badgers won the Big Ten title game. In what everybody thought was a losing game for the Badgers, they triumphed in a close 76-75 win over the Purdue Boilermakers. But what did this momentous occasion lead to?

After the game, the 53-year-old head coach delivered a fascinating post-game speech that went viral, not just because of the speech but because of how he celebrated it. It’s a bit of Coach Prime in Wisconsin’s HC, and it didn’t escape the notice of Deion Sanders himself. See what he has to say to Greg Gard!

Deion Sanders reveals his love for Greg Gard’s antics

Greg Gard celebrated the victory in style, which some fans point out is like Coach Prime’s vibe. Perhaps his shouting, “Can I have my theme music?” linked him with the Buffs HC’s style as he let his inner child out in a celebration and jumped around like he was in his 20s. In response to Gard’s post-game speech uploaded on X by Wisconsin on BTN, Deion Sanders wrote, “I absolutely Love it. God bless you Coach & your Team!!!!“

“I’ve been part of a lot of amazing battles in this league, in this tournament, the NCAA tournament. That may be one of the best I’ve ever seen,” Greg Gard said of the game. “And raise your hand if you fouled out, there was a lot of y’all.” The reason is that Wisconsin secured 28 fouls compared to Purdue’s 17, resulting in the Boilermakers getting 32 free throw attempts while the Badgers got nine. Still, Greg Gard’s boys clinched the victory, a testament to his credibility as a coach, which Deion Sanders is an expert at.

Deion Sanders never fails to hype his players

As the Buffs closed in on their spring practice, Coach Prime gave his players an internal competition to spark unity. After his strong message on teamwork, where he said, “I love that we’re depending on one another… I love that we’re supporting one another. I love that we’re challenging one another,” he maneuvered a rally race between the fastest and slowest players of each position to deliver meat to what he was preaching about.

The CU Buffs may not have had the last season in their favor, but that’s not the end. As they prepare for the second season under Deion Sanders, the HC is working for his team like never before, whether through field practice or verbally inspiring them. Coach Prime, the “most hip-hop head coach,” even brought Mariners and a live DJ to the Buffs training room for maximum outcomes from his players. The effort is real!
