Watch literally the video you posted.
1) Juwan doesnt wanna shake gards hand and tries to walk past him. Gard grabs he left arm and forces him back.
2) after that juwan likely tells gard to not touch him, at which time gard still gets verbally aggressive. Juwan doesnt play that BS so then points in his face and tells him what a chump he is
3) wisconsins big assistant comes in tells juwan “get the **** outta here” proceeds to then put hands on TWO michigan players. Juwan responds with a simple slap.

i’ll trust me eyes here, you can trust your narrative


You are digging your hole deeper

Gard put his hands on juwan first 🤷‍♂️

Lolllll dude stoppppp that is absolutely beyond nothing and totally fine he was just trying to talk to him. Get a grip man. If someone touches your arm anything goes? What planet are you living on hahaha I usually defend you but this is hilarious

bro. Stop. When have to ever seen a coach try to punch, slap, face palm another coach? All of these guys are competitors and don’t try to hit other coaches .

A lot of people deserve a lot of things but that doesn’t mean the head basketball coach should be hitting people. It is silly to argue otherwise.
In the 90's, it was your average Tuesday... 😂 😂 😂

So why didn't he punch Gard then? He ended up punching an assistant presumingly for some words?
Lolll exactly so Gard touches his arm which means now Howard is free to hit someone else? Zero logic.

Howard also aggressively grabs Gard is anything and that's what started it not Gard barely touching Howard's arm loll Kyk off the reservation on this one

In 2022? People will act like this is the equivalent of a murder being shown on national tv. In the 90’s this is your average tuesday.
1) it was a slap
2) its damnnnnn refreshing to see that not every basketball player/program is full of a soft culture where you wanna be best friends with your opponents.

This was nothing. Not one person ever landed a punch haha

You really are an *** aren't you? Do you slap other realtors when they outbid you for a sale too?

Most ridiculous take ever from a guy who has no shortage of ridiculous takes.

50/50 in my opinion Howard is done at Michigan. The writing is on the wall with him I think and they are not dumb. His coaching ability is suspect as well. Think it would be a mutual agreement with Howard and Michigan AD
I doubt it. Legacy guy and minority at a very woke school. Most likely he gets some anger management help.

Of course it doesn't compare to murder, but it does show representing the program you lead very poorly and acting like a sore loser.
Just because it was a slap and not a punch shouldn't make what Howard done acceptable.
Not a soft culture, it's called having friendly competition and not going to a brawl.
Not landing a puch is a good point, but the actions of the players aren't something that should be accepted in any sport except in the WWE.

Stop with the fake tough guy act, please. We get it, you're a man's man who thinks you should defend yourself physically at every turn. A timeout is a punchable offense. No one hurt means nothing happened. Sportsmanship is for losers. We get it. You're super cool.
“They” call themselves alpha males…

Gard's explanation:

"Apparently he didn't like that I called the timeout to reset the 10-second call. Because we only had four seconds to get the ball over halfcourt," Gard told CBS. "I didn't want to put my backups -- I had all my bench guys in the game -- I didn't want to put them in that position of scrambling with only four seconds. So I took a timeout and got us a new 10 seconds and it helped them get organized and get the ball in. And he did not like that when he came through the handshake line. I'll leave it at that and the tape will show the rest."

Big facts being spoken here. The dude who walked in you can clearly say “get the **** out of here” to juwan. The puff his chest out. People these days wayyyyy too comfortable talkin **** thinking aint no body gonna do anything about it. Justice served. Dont reciprocate that energy unless youre about that life. Little *** boy cowered once slapped, chest deflated. Softie got what he deserved

Keep on digging, tough guy..

😂
