Juwan Howard & Eli Brooks Post Game Press Conferences

[Tango Two]

 

[TonyVolt]

Not one positive comment about RU other than “they hit tough shots.”

 

[Captain Hogleg]

I’m still not sure Howard even knows what state Rutgers is in. He’s never had a complimentary thing to say about RU or even acknowledged our presence really. This loss clearly has Michigan bewildered.

 

[RUJMM78]

Not one positive comment about RU other than “they hit tough shots.”

Comments by head coaches after losing games aren't meaningful in most cases.They will make excuses about the team perforamnce and say they have to look at the video tape.Some will give some credit to the opponent but that won't satisfy their fan base.Michigan is a perceived elite basketball program that is having a down year even with a highly rated recruuting class.The excuse for this game is the team was without five players because of covid.

When I checked the box score.. I did not understand why we only won by 8...

I see us have a 24 point advantage in 3s.. and everything else looks rather even.. it is bizarre.. I know it should be simple math.. where the points came from to give us only an 8 point win.. that's a 16 point difference.. we scored same number of FTs.. similar FG%.. only 2 more turnovers.. both hit 27 shots.. they took 3 more shots.. weird box score.

Probably should have been 10+, but garbage time cut it down. With 1 min to go, we were up by 11... and it still probably would have been a 10pt win without the turnover on the inbounds. It hadn't been closer than 7 points since the first 6 minutes of the game.

Hope I'm not misunderstanding... We both made 27 field goals. 11 out of 27 of our made shots were 3's, and only 3 out of their 27 made shots were 3's. We both made 10 foul shots. So that's a difference of 8 points, since they made 8 more two point shots instead of the 8 more three point shots that we made, since both 2's and 3's are included in the total FG stat that had us both making 27 shots.. We outscored them by 24 on 3 point shots, but they outscored us by 16 on 2 point shots.

February 23rd will be an interesting night in Ann Arbor.

 

[BossNJ]

Dude is a straight up arrogant jerk. Not one ounce of praise for your opponent coach? You know, the one that just beat your team handily?

-“Shorthanded” or not. Blah, blah, blah.. everyone has guys missing at many points during the year. We were more or less at full strength here, but we hadn’t been at times earlier in the season. Can’t control timing just gotta man up..

Watch the game. We had leads of 17 points in both halves. It got to 7 twice late in the second half and we brought it right back to 10-12 point lead. Game was never an 8 point game for most of the game wire to wire.

I know.. just saying box score looks weird because it is not obvious.

Example; when we lose we sometimes can say.. oh.. we lost by 5 but they took and made so many more FTs.. that's the game right there. But when you see a 24 point edge on 3s.. and nothing obvious like a bunch more turnovers or blocks or FT differential... the 3 for us and 2 for them thing does not jump off the box score page. I was exaggerating that.. feeling.

Almost like when in football your team gets 5 takeaways.. but barely wins.. it just doesn't seem "right".

 

[knight82]

Hes just a jackass. His behavior in last year's Big Ten Tournament says it all

 

[satnom]

We missed 7 FTS and many of them were front ends of 1-1s. RU should have won by mid to high teens. Is what it is and RU moves on.

GO RU

 

[MADHAT1]

Howard needs to act tough , refusing to give credit when credit is due to a program that beats his team
The Wolverine fanbase won't put up with an average program, even if a past Michigan basketball star is the HC.
Now that the team is composed mainly of his recruits and not John Beilein's leftovers , Juwan needs to prove he can bring out the talent in the players he recruits , not just guild the players Beilein molded into good college players that was on the team when the job became his

 

[bigmatt718]

Juwan Howard is the James Franklin of college hoops. I said it. Elite recruiter, mediocre gameday HC. He won with Beilein's players in his first 2 seasons.

That still doesn’t preclude him from giving his opponents’ credit.

I’d be interested to see pressers of the games he wins to see how he describes the opponents he just beat. If he praises teams he beats, he’s an even bigger jerk than he appears now.

That said.. Howard looked to outcoach Pike 2X last year. It surprised me then.

 

[FRA10Thunderbolt]

Screw that guy, not one comment saying Pike did a great job and the Rutgers team did a great job! No grace whatsoever. Look at Pikes post game presser, the first things he says are Michigans coach is a great coach and the team plays hard. Not one peep of praise from JH. F michigan wish we beat them by 20.

 

[ScarletDave]

He has bigger things to worry about as the wolverines are 7-6 and may wind up 7-10 in about 2 weeks and he knows that in the back of his mind … fanbase will be in meltdown mode

 

[ColonelRutgers]

I haven't watched either of the above linked press conferences but when one of the opposing coaches (Brandin Knight) has to be restrained from getting into with your staff, I don't think the first thing on your mind is to praise the opposing coaching staff. Not saying Knight was out of line or anything and couldn't tell what was really going on so I'm not commenting on the kerfuffle itself. But things were probably a bit raw and Michigan was essentially never in the game.

Also, I'll give Howard credit to wading through all of the stuff to shake all the RU players' hands.

 

[BigRnj]

…

I won’t give Howard credit… He did nothing to reel in the increasing chippyness and ultimately dirty plays, let alone the absolute freak out by Diabate. And from what I could see neither did his staff. If the um water boy didn’t have a death grip around Diabate he would have cracked someone’s skull with a chair or a sucker punch… he WAS that unhinged. He yelled “I’m going to ?????? you” to fans as he was physically dragged off the court. That idiot’s breakdown almost trampled the kid in the wheelchair heading to the celebration. Yet no um official did a thing. No I won’t give him credit for shaking hands when he should have squashed the shiitshow instead

It's amazing hearing the excuses from their delusional fans.

My Michigan grad coworker said this morning UM is going to win by 30 and Harper will leave Ann Arbor with a broken nose.

Even when we're good I never throw around that kinda stuff, they really believe it though.

Michigan fans are complete scum. As fashionable as it is to hate PSU more in the B1G, I feel like Michigan fans are way worse. They literally act like their **** doesn't stink and are God's gift to the B1G.
