What should Howard's punishment be?

[Scangg]

A punishment is coming, obviously.

 

[Doctor Worm]

Three games feels right.

 

[BillyC80]

I would go with the rest of the regular season, but let him coach in the B1GT.

[Doctor Worm]

There are two possible levels of suspension. What the B1G may impose, and what the university may impose. My guess - three games from the B1G, nothing further from UM.

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Give him 5 games.

 

[DHajekRC84]

Forced sleepover at the Harbough's

 

[WhoRU?]

Coaches can't do this. He should be terminated. It's also a convenient way to terminate a contract if administrators were thinking his time might be up before this.

 

[RC1991]

If it was the first time he pulled this crap a multi game suspension. This is not the first time so can him.

[KnightKnight]

Saw this earlier. The Big Ten can only suspend for 2 games and 10k fine. Michigan would have to add on more

 

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

Howard fired. Pikiell hired - Pounding Nails in Ann Arbor.

Pounding Nails in Michigan.

 

[pmvon]

Need to make an example of a coach who needs to be constrained by his 18 year old players

 

[SKnight00]

What the punishment “should be” and “will be” may be two very different things.

 

[GORU2014]

We all know what that leads to

 

[FastMJ]

League punishment: Suspended rest of season including post-season
Team punishment: Termination for cause

 

[Doctor Worm]

Saw this earlier. The Big Ten can only suspend for 2 games and 10k fine. Michigan would have to add on more

Then B1G imposes the max and that is it. I will be shocked if UM adds anything.

How incredibly embarrassing. Young men who can't even drink legally having to be the level headed responsible ones with their emotions in check restraining their adult coach... what happens if they don't hold him back? Howard looked like he wasn't done swinging

I think the protocol is for the university to respond/act first, followed by the conference.

 

[kapyoche]

He is done for this season. Any thing less than that is a total joke.

 

[tru2ru1]

Dude is a ticking time bomb, if serious punishment is not handed out this time, the next incident may be much worse with possible fan involvement.

 

[Kbee3]

Howard needs to look for another line of work.

 

[DHajekRC84]

I don't want him canned. I want him to keep being another jerk coach at that esteemed university. He's beatable as we know.n

 

[Scangg]

Have to think Howard's pattern of behavior is considered here as well.

Also, you would think a coach hitting someone has to be more severe than a player

 

[Knightmoves]

Cmon man, the dude is a brother and wants to win.

What punishment did John Chaney get when he threatened to kill John Calipari in the post game presser?

1 game suspension and a small fine maybe?

UM will suspend him until the first TV time out.

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

Going with regular seaaon

 

[TheHandOfChaos]

A punishment is coming, obviously.

Naked wind sprints

 

[BigEastPhil]

Should be fired and forced to take anger management classes. He’s a disgrace to any university let alone Michigan.

 

[WhichReligionIsRight]

Fireable offense.

 

[Plum Street]

“Conference is aware.”
Well, I sure as hell hope so !

 

[Doctor Worm]

Fireable offense.

IF they are looking for a reason to get rid of him. But I doubt they are.

 

[BigEastPhil]

IF they are looking for a reason to get rid of him. But I doubt they are.

He’s a walking time bomb . This is not a one off. 3rd known incident in 2 years. Michigan should have enough class to understand this.

 

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

 

[KnightFan]

So basically, they are going to let it slide, then act shocked the next time he blows up

 

[T2Kplus20]

A punishment is coming, obviously.

I forgot, what did choke’em Chaney from Temple get way back?

 

[RU#1fan]

Blue Blood program in the B1G.
He might get a game suspension

[Plum Street]

That was a pretty classy statement. Let’s see what actions taken

 

[rob kight]

He’s been a ticking time Bomb for most of the season
