Should be fired or at least suspended the rest of the season. Media loves him so I actually expect a 3 game suspension
I guess I'm different but when a guy 6 ft 11 wants to walk away from me, I have no problem letting him go by.Dang, guess I'd get suspended too. I probably would have tried to hold him there so I could talk to him too if I wanted to explain myself. I never looked at that as a bad thing.
It never used to be.
I didn’t watch but something must have happened during the game.Gard was excessively aggressive. He is not innocent in this either.
Howard decided he could cash that check his mouth was writing. Gonna be an expensive check.Gard would have passed right on by, but Howard was talking **** during the handshake
Well, I was taking Howard's size out of my general statement, but I have to believe Gard would not have done that if he thought Howard was going to go off like that.I guess I'm different but when a guy 6 ft 11 wants to walk away from me, I have no problem letting him go by.
No he will be suspended for their exhibitions next year.Should be fired or at least suspended the rest of the season. Media loves him so I actually expect a 3 game suspension
Wisconsin was up big.I didn’t watch but something must have happened during the game.
They probably had too many leftHe needed Chris Webber to call a T.O. before it escalated.
He was trying to talk to him Jeff but it’s the way he went about. Grabbed his arm in an irritated way in a moment when you knew Jawan wasnt going to react well to that. Whisky coach was clearly miffed that Jawan was going to blow by him so it was the perfect storm. Japan still has more to apologize for but no question the manner in which the other coach confronted him set it off.Did you hear anything that was being said? Seemed to me he was just trying to talk to Howard, maybe to clear up some confusion, or apologize.
I guess I don't see what you're seeing, but we'll see what happens.
I've never seen a guy get in trouble for putting his hand on someone's chest. I can't imagine he would think things would have escslated like that.
Agree with that. And I believe this is the second time that Howard had got into it with someone in the handshake line. But I’m sure Michigan will try to smooth it over.You fire him for that.End of discussion period.No excuse for it,poor leadership.yes,mistakes are made but absolutely no way the Michigan President.board of directors or athletic director can condone that.
He must be fired.
Wisconsin was up big and had scrubs in.UM was pressing and UW was turning ball over.UW called timeout to coach scrubs with 15 or so seconds to go and Howard to offense to TOCould someone who watched please explain the timeout situation that seemed to instigate the tempers that led to the postgame fisticuffs? Didn't see it posted (or maybe I missed it).
Michigan kept pressing even when the scrubs were in the game under 30 seconds down by a big amount. They stole the ball several times and scored and gard called a time out to coach them. That was with 15 seconds or so. Howard took exception to that. I understand howard but I also understand that they were pressing. Don't press when the game's over.Could someone who watched please explain the timeout situation that seemed to instigate the tempers that led to the postgame fisticuffs? Didn't see it posted (or maybe I missed it).
The end of the Huston game was worth itI guess I shouldn't have turned off that game to watch the ends of Houston and Providence's games.
Wisconsin called a timeout while Michigan was pressing their benchwarmers. I believe calling a timeout resets the 10 second backcourt rule so the Wisconsin Coach called the timeout so they wouldn’t have a turnover.Could someone who watched please explain the timeout situation that seemed to instigate the tempers that led to the postgame fisticuffs? Didn't see it posted (or maybe I missed it).
There better be a HUHE suspension for this
There’s talk and then there are fists and Gard did not throw a punch. The punch by the coach escalated the incident IMO.Gard was excessively aggressive. He is not innocent in this either.
Michigan was a bubble team, the bubble just burst. So now only 8 teams from the over-rated B1G?If he gets fired.. Michigan to Dukes region!
Gard Wisconsin head coachWho was the coach he first started arguing with?
The coach he punched was NOT the first coach he was arguing with. So who was he?
I agree but there's a guy rule that when a guy's pissed off you just walk away.There’s talk and then there are fists and Gard did not throw a punch. The punch by the coach escalated the incident IMO.
Who was the Wisconsin coach, is he the HC? He clearly said something that set Howard off. Howard shouldn't have punched him but the Wisconsin guy needs to say his "good game" BS and go on.
Nah I understand how you’re looking at it but sometimes you have to know who you’re dealing with . I like Juwan Howard but he seems to have a short fuse .Dang, guess I'd get suspended too. I probably would have tried to hold him there so I could talk to him too if I wanted to explain myself. I never looked at that as a bad thing.
It never used to be.
Yeah I didnt see any of that either. I literally changed the channel over from the golf channel and saw a scrum happeningCould someone who watched please explain the timeout situation that seemed to stoke the tempers that led to the postgame fisticuffs? Didn't see it posted (or maybe I missed it).
Oh yeah, you have to check the temperature of the guy you're trying to calm down, but I just thought his intentions seemed to be something other than what Juwan was thinking.Nah I understand how you’re looking at it but sometimes you have to know who you’re dealing with . I like Juwan Howard but he seems to have a short fuse .
