I hope they shut down both teams for the season. That's how stupid and ugly that was. Forfeits and go home.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.
Howard should be fired. Pretty cut and dry if you ask me. Total embarrassment. Just not an example you set. IMO coaches have to live by different standards.
But the fact a punch was thrown makes everything matter. It’s nothing if a punch is t thrown but it was so the context matters.
Thanks... that's what I gathered, which is why I don't understand Howard's anger w/ the TO. You coach your team in all situations. I don't have a problem w/ second string pressing second string b/c they need reps, too. However, if a coach leaves his first group in the game to press my second group in an effort to make the scoreboard look better, then I take umbrage to that. I coached for many years and have been on both sides of a lopsided score. If I was up big and the opposing coach decided to start pressing my second or third stringers with his first string when the outcome was not in doubt, I would call a timeout, put the starters back in, and keep pouring it on until the opponent got the message and waved the white flag. The game is over.....take your medicine and live to fight another day.

Right, you're reinforcing my point.
Yeah, Gard shouldn't have put his hands on Juwan, but if punches weren't thrown, it would have been a non issue.
Lost in all of this is the fact that several Michigan players threw punches later on.
Michigan is about to be without a coach and some players.
What I am saying is it's understandable to take a time out to coach your second unit if they're going to press them.
So this happened after the game was already over in the hand shake line right?
This exactly. I saw multiple platters from UM throwing punches. Suspensions and firings galore. Oh happy days. Haha karma is such a female dog.
Call it whatever you want. It was an attack with attempt to injure.
Thanks. Odd thatI they ended up that close together before security stepped in. The security guard is standing there watching the whole thing unfold.
I disagree. The other team doesn’t have to play 1/2 speed while you continue to play full. If either team is playing 100%, it’s perfectly fair for the other team to do the same.
You damn well know the usual suspects would be spinning it like they do for anything controversial with Cal!
If I were Michigan I wouldn't try this with Purdue. That Edney dude could crack all their heads together like moe.
It’s okay dude, it wasn’t Cal, so you don’t have look ridiculous splitting hairs on this one.
Goodman would be the one to think that’s a punch. I honestly think Howard will be asked to resign for this. Michigan isn’t the University of Louisville, there will be a lot of pressure on the Athletic director and school President for these actions.
Huh?It’s okay dude, it wasn’t Cal, so you don’t have look ridiculous splitting hairs on this one.
You may want to watch the slow motion. I know that's hard for you.Cringe at its finest
If you can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen. Howard, embarrassing quit being a clown. What kind of example you set for your players? He’s Penny with better talent, yet can’t control his emotions. At some point, you grow up or you get out.
You are truly a master baitorFunny thing is, some of Cal’s cool-aid drinkers here would defend him if say, he did the same thing at Arkansas, with their assistant! And you jokers better not even say you wouldn’t!
After watching a few times it’s pretty clear that Howard was aggressively trying to grab the coach by his collar. Not defending him, it’s just what happened, the worst part is that his players then felt justified to start fighting.
You’ve never been in a fight if you call that a punch
Yes this. The slow motion of this shows it was a slap now some of the Michigan players threw punches.
