Madison — The Executive Committee of the University of Wisconsin Board of Regents is scheduled to hold a teleconference Tuesday to discuss the contracts of two new UW coaches — women's basketball and men's hockey.

According to a source close to the women's basketball program, Jonathan Tsipis is set to be named head coach.

Tony Granato, a former UW player and current assistant with the Detroit Red Wings, is set to replace Mike Eaves as the men's hockey coach.

Tsipis, 43, recently finished his fourth season as head coach at George Washington. He guided the Colonials to the Atlantic 10 title and an NCAA berth in each of the last two seasons and compiled an overall record of 92-38.

Tsipis, who resigned as George Washington's coach on Monday, was named Atlantic 10 coach of the year in 2014-'15.

Before taking over the George Washington program, he was an assistant coach at Notre Dame for 12 seasons. He was the associate head coach/recruiting coordinator from 2008 through 2012.

Tsipis is poised to become the first male head coach in the history of the program, which was started in 1974-'75.

He replaces Bobbie Kelsey, who in five seasons compiled a record of 19-65 in Big Ten play and 47-100 overall. UW finished 7-22 last season and has not qualified for the NCAA Tournament since the 2009-'10 season.

UW has made just seven NCAA Tournament appearances and has a 2-7 overall mark.
