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.
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 didn’t watch but something must have happened during the game.
Wisconsin was up big.

Michigan was pressing under 30 seconds.

Wisconsin had the scrubs in.

They kept losing the ball.

Gard called a timeout with 15 seconds to go to coach scrubs. And to reset 10 seconds for back court.

Howard took offense to the timeout.

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.
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.

don’t get me wrong… I would probably have done the same as Wisky coach as I can’t stand a pouter and I wouldn’t just take the blow by without saying something.

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.
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.

I’m certain their are other reasons, but I’m sure this is also one of the reasons that Calipari has stopped with the handshake line.

Could 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).

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.

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.

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.

Who 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?

😆 at the announcers trying to act horrified. "This is an ugly scene! This its ugly scene! Omg!". But yeah, I don't see how you don't fire Howard immediately.

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.
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 .

Yeah I didnt see any of that either. I literally changed the channel over from the golf channel and saw a scrum happening

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.

I hope Howard gets a 10-year extension because we will never have to worry about them as long as he coaches there.
