Walter Meanwell began coaching the Badgers in 1911. In his first season, he led Wisconsin
to an undefeated season (15-0), and then led them to another 15-0 season
in 1913-14. Meanwell's teams would win eight Big Ten Championships during his
tenure, in 1912, 1913, 1914, 1916, 1921, 1923, 1924, and 1929. Between the 1917-18
and 1919-20 seasons, Guy Lowman coached the Badgers, leading them to a 1918
Big Ten Conference Championship before Meanwell returned in 1920. Meanwell would
also coach two All-Americans during his Wisconsin career, George Levis in
1916 and Harold "Bud" Foster in 1930. On December 18, 1930, the first game was
played in the new Wisconsin Field House, a basketball arena with a capacity of
