The timeout was called by the Wisconsin coach because he had his kids from the end of the bench in the game and Howard kept pressing and stealing the ball even though the game was over for all practical purposes.
Yeah I agree there . If you’re pressing you shouldn’t get mad at anything at that point .
He literally shouldn’t get mad. I mean Howard’s allowed to play to the buzzer, but Gard isn’t. Howard needs to be humbled.
Im amazed. This is how racist our country is. Defend the man because of his race. If he was white and swinging at a black coach, there'd be no question he'd be jobless forever tomorrow morning.
Well that’s because every time we see a fight where the black guy was the aggressor this is always their defense. Go back to sticking your head in the sand.

Yeah, there is no excuse for what Howard did, but the stupid Wisconsin coach needs to understand that moment is not the time to have a heart to heart with him. You don't grab the opposing coach and try to force him to have a conversation right there. It was clear to anyone with a brain that Howard didn't appreciate the late timeout by Wisconsin when the game was over. And it was a bit of a punk move by the Wisconsin coach. Just let the game end. It was over, but he wanted to relish it and soak in it. I don't blame Juwan Howard for taking issue with that. The problem for Howard is that you can't let your anger get the best of you there and put your hands on someone.
Come on now. Howard started the whole thing. He started mouthing to Gard, of course Gard is gonna stop and respond.
He explained in a video why he called a time out.
Well yeah, except Howard said nothing of the sort. But I’m the one sticking my head in the sand. Y’all are hilarious…
if Howard felt the game was over then why was he still pressing the bench players
Yeah, I get that. He had his scrubs in and Michigan was pressing. I get that. Where he was in the wrong here is putting his hands on Howard and attempting to force him to have a conversation in the hand shake line. There is no defense of that. Without that, nothing further would have happened. He started the entire altercation.
Not so imo. Howard was mouthing to Gard before they got to each other. If Howard doesn’t mouth off, Gard walks on by and nothing happens.
Yeah, he shouldn't have still been pressing. I agree. And the Wisconsin coach shouldn't have called timeout. Howard shouldn't have made a comment in the line and the Wisconsin coach shouldn't have grabbed Howard to force a confrontation. Howard was doing a fly by. The Wisconsin coach should have just walked on by. He started the physical confrontation.
Don’t agree with anything you just said. Howard can press and keep stealing the ball from walk-ons with his starters but gard isn’t allowed to keep coaching his own team? Also gard would not have grabbed Howard when they walked by had Howard not ran his mouth. Gard not allowed to coach, not allowed to try and defend why he coached or anything. Just let Howard have his way all the way around I guess! Sorry but no!!
Wrong. 2 opposing forces. Gard started the physical confrontation. Smarting off by Howard is childish but not a physical confrontation. Gard grabbed Howard first.
we are sorta on the same line
Careful careful if you aren’t saying this is 100% on Howard someone is going to think you be praising Howard as a civil rights leader
Gard grabbed Howard’s arm to stop him to talk. He didn’t physically grab him as to start an altercation. There is a huge difference there. Gard gets zero Blame in my eyes. Howard with the don’t touch me bull after running his mouth was also crap.
I get Gard responding I don’t get why he grabbed him to talk. Howard is walking by saying what he said Gard should have said something back and kept walking .
Very similar to all the ******** literally thousands of UT people spewed defending their disgraceful behavior agianst Ole Miss. Just another example of the decline of our civilization.
We will have to agree to disagree then. Grabbing a man right there is starting the physical confrontation. Gard doesn't get zero blame because he got physical first. The right move, as someone above just said, is to make whatever comment you want and keep walking. He decided to grab Howard instead. Without that decision, nothing physical happens.
Howard was pressing the scrubs when the game was well decided. The bench guys do not get much clock and the Wisconsin coach wanted the TO to give instruction to the group after being pressed. Howard, to me, looked and acted like a jerk. I think both coaches will be punished with Howard getting a big, big punishment. It is warranted.
Not defending Howard, just not gonna lay the entire thing at his feet. It seems you want to blame the entire thing on Howard. Watch the video. Gard gets physical first, grabbing Howard and trying to force him to have a conversation in the handshake line. That move is what escalated the situation from a verbal exchange to a physical exchange. Now, what Howard did from that point is inexcusable, but to lay the entire thing on Howard is also wrong. Now, when you begin to attack me as part of the decline of our civilization, well, now you've gone from civil conversation to personal attack. That is uncalled for.
