Meltdown in Madison

[Psu00]

Whisky beat Michigan. While shaking hands at the end the Michigan and Wisky coaches had words. The Michigan coach took a swing at a security guard trying to separate them and a brawl erupted. I’m assuming a suspension is coming (but it is Michigan so who knows).

Howard, another "Michigan Man", where "Michigan Man" = A$$hole.........

 

[BobPSU92]

michigan as a school continues to implode. What a joke they are.

 

[Evan Ceg]

I doubt Michigan will fire Juwan Howard over this, but a suspension is coming, for sure. For how long?

Howard seems to have some anger management issues. He almost got into it with then-Maryland HC Mark Turgeon last season.

He’s gonna say someone called him a

 

[LionJim]

Not cool.

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

I agree but that is the ONLY thing that will save his job. Care to disagree?

 

[GrimReaper]

Ah, kid stuff, distant second to the Gopher Stomp of 50 years ago.

How to crack open a Buckeye.

michigan won’t fire howard. They protect their own up there.

Well, he didn’t claim that, so we’ll see.

 

[GrimReaper]

Yeah, it's not as if there weren't more than a few people in earshot.

 

[LionJim]

Yeah, it's not as if there weren't more than a few people in earshot.

Howard has already talked to the press, mentioned nothing along those lines.

 

[LionJim]

Apparently some Wisconsin players were hurt in the aftermath.

 

[Erial_Lion]

There is a realistic chance of Wisconsin and Michigan meeting up in the quarters of the Big Ten tournament (guessing Wisconsin will end up the 3 seed, and Michigan in the 6-8 range).

I’m actually happy to hear that.

 

[canuckhal]

Compared to hockey and even baseball, basketball players don't really know how to fight.

 

[PSU Mike]

Swings like a 5 year old.

 

[leinbacker]

Lack of institutional control

 

[Psu00]

Yeah Rex- it’s the handshake line. That’s the problem, not the coach’s behavior.

 

[BobPSU92]

F*ck sportsmanship.

 

[LionJim]

Seems as if the ball is in Michigan’s court, pretty much.

 

[LionsAndBears]

Nothing to see here folks. It'll all be wiped under the rug swiftly and with a meaningless penalty to save face.

 

[NL2017]

Rex Chapman now asking to abolish the post-game handshake, along with his previous request of abolishing the playing of the national anthem.

 

[Nohow]

Announcer says, enthusiastically: "This is an ugly scene!"

 

[bbb2021]

Howard's a true "Michigan Man." They should be proud

 

[rudedude]

Seems Juwan has a pattern of anger

 

[ChiTownLionPSU]

 

[psu31trap]

Abolish the handshake ? They could have just agreed to disagree on the TO. Instead a senseless post game fight ensues. Unfortunately for Howard he threw the first punch and that’s what people will remember.

Maybe we should just abolish Rex Chapman?

I’m sure it’s all just a misunderstanding.

 

[LaJollaCreek]

I’m sure your militia in the woods agrees.

 

[LionJim]

Dick Vitale said the same thing.

 

[LionsAndBears]

This world has enough problems without people making s--t up when it doesn't exist.

 

[ChiTownLionPSU]

 

[BobPSU92]

PSU banned from the conference tournament?

Is this the point the Rick turns heel and becomes the Prick?

Chapman is speaking from his own experience and how he’s seen a number of fights break out in what is nothing more than a forced sportsmanship line. Recall a few months ago some kid sucker punched another in the handshake like after a HS game.

 

[RochLion]

Worse or better than Woody Hayes punch (not technique)? Hard to say, though Hayes was against a player. Juwan was visibly irate.
