Despite leading Wisconsin within a game of the Frozen Four, Badgers coach Jeff Sauer did not have his contract extended by the school’s athletic board on Friday.<\/p>\n

SAUER<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

It’s the second time in three years Sauer’s contract has not been extended. The 30-year collegiate coach still has three years remaining on his contract, but extensions are generally given at the close of the season.<\/p>\n

“It’s basically a signal that not everything is where we would like it to be,” Wisconsin athletics director Pat Richter told Andy Baggot of the Wisconsin State Journal<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Sauer’s Badgers defeated Providence in the first round of the NCAA tournament, but lost to Michigan State in the quarterfinal round. The season was largely a disappointment for the Badgers, the 1999-2000 WCHA regular-season champions who were expected to compete for the title again.<\/p>\n

Instead, they finished fifth in the WCHA, and lost the Final Five play-in game to Colorado College. They ended the season with an overall record of 22-15-4.<\/p>\n

Sauer admitted he has talked with Richter, a former member of the NCAA Ice Hockey Committee, about retirement, but said he wants to work through the end of his contract.<\/p>\n

“From my point of view, I have a contract until 2004, and that’s fine,” Sauer told the State Journal<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Sauer’s contract was also not extended after the Badgers went 15-19-4 in 1998-99.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
