That’s not a punch, but Howard is a scumbag and I’m surprised Michigan is okay with it as a University.
Howard just threw a punch

Dickinson setting blind screens…..
So it is okay to punch a coach? If he was pissed he should have just walked to the locker room. When he had to delay his walk you knew there was a problem.
I think Gard actually sort of grabbed Howard as Howard was attempting to blow him off. Probably in an attempt to say “what’s your deal” or something.
If Howard gets in his face a little bit and they trade words, it wouldn’t be a big deal. Can’t throw hands as a coach.
@mikebal9 Gard didn’t push Howard, but he did “impede Howard’s progress”’ to put it in refereeing terms. I think Gard’s intent was to hash out the tension or something; not saying he instigated what turned into a physical argument.
********.
You don’t know who is a competitor and who isn’t. You think you know everything and you know nothing.
In an earlier post I said Juwan was in the right until the open hand swipe at the coach, but why did Gard have to force a handshake that Juwan clearly wasn't willing to give. Now it is mandatory to shake everyone's hand in a team line? Even after what transpired at the end of the game
Gard is not innocent here.
I’m a Howard fan, but as a coach you have to channel your emotions in a different way. He gets a suspension here.
No reason for Howard to start a fight over it and no need for gard to push the issue in handshake line. But…that’s just a dumb excuse he gave regardless of truth. There was 15 seconds left…not that impactful if the last guys on the bench commit a TO at that point. And if UM gets one more basket off that TO they’d have their full time to get up court again.
He put his hand out to shake....when Howard ignored him he blocked with hand and did not grab.Juwan was wrong. Coaching now in this PC world is hard and Juwan does not fit in. He is a spoiled brat who has been coddled his whole life starting at UM with payoffs. Now coaching is different and he will not always get the benefit of doubt from a players union or a school benefactor paying his way as a player.
Sorry if this will hurt his feelings.
Gard knew Howard was pissed about the TO and all he did was grab his arm to talk to him and guarantee what he was trying to tell him was that I only called the TO there bc you were pressing. I brought in my scrubs as a gesture to call off the dogs and you pressed them
Howard can't have it both ways. Can't press when the game is over and expect the other team to just give up. If you're playing to the whistle like the game isn't over then they should keep playing too
Yeah, I don’t disagree. Should have ended with the two head coaches barking at each other for a few seconds.
Agreed. But he was trying to explain.
But Juwan was not as innocent as he seemed to proclaim at JMA.
Umm that was simply not a good look regardless of the decade. As a coach you have to rise above. He acts barely above an 18 yr old mindset too many times. Anyway all I really care about is if it can help us in our upcoming game.
I saw a clip on IG, and it showed Moussa Diabate (#14), Terrance Williams (#5), and Adrien Nunez (#0) of Michigan throwing a punch or shove members of Wisconsin during the fallout. I have to believe they will be suspended along with Howard. I'm not sure Gard of Wisconsin is innocent of possibly being suspended too for one game.
He was in the wrong here; as I said in my post, you can’t throw hands as a coach. I was merely pointing out that your description of events appeared to miss that Gard didn’t let Howard walk away. Howard should be suspended.
However, I don’t think you’ve read much about Howard’s life.
Exactly. Saw the same thing. All 3 will likely face a suspension for throwing punches
He is almost as much of a jacka** as kyk.
At the very least, suspended for several games, if not the rest of the season; if UM actually wants him gone, he's fired.
Does he have any good takes?
That crap he tweeted to Tiquan Underwood was awful. Guy needs to be taken down more than a few pegs.
Brooks was in the middle of the sh*t but can't tell if he threw a punch or shoved someone.
Going with…..
Howard done for regular season
Gard gets 1 game
3 guys throwing punches 2 games

Did Gard physically hit anyone? He’s innocent. Verbal stuff is fine. Happens all the time. Very bad take.
Observation and Questions:
It is obvious that Howard did not like the timeout call with 15 seconds left and said so to Gard.
I am not certain, but Gard tried to talk to Howard.
We do not know what Howard said to Gard and Gard said to Howard before they were separated.
What we don't know is why Howard came forward and slapped the Wisconsin Assistant coach.
Did the Wisconsin Assistant Coach (ex-Wisconsin player) say something to provoke Howard into coming forward to slap him in the face?
My Opinion:
The situation was already heated, so assistant coaches on both sides should keep their mouth shut and keep their players away from the opposing players and coaches.
There is no excuse for fighting during or after a basketball game.
I would not be surprised to see both Howard and the Wisconsin Assistant Coach suspended.
The players that threw punches should also be suspended.
The Big Ten should investigate this situation further from start to finish (game through the end of the incident after the game).

Howard was full court pressing Wisconsin’s scrub players with under a minute to go down 16 that’s why Gard called a TO
Juwann Howard will be suspended but I’m betting there will be other accusations coming tomorrow by Michigan , one’s which will attempt to cast mutual blame upon Gard and his staff. This is a former Michigan Legend, Olympian, All Star , and part of the Blue Blood Nation. If this were a Rutgers coach he would be suspended , castrated by the news media and the B1G conference. Imagine what state politicians would be saying or calling for ? This will somehow be washed away pretty quickly . Just be happy it’s NOT Rutgers here as they would be calling for us being ousted from the B1G.
