Meltdown in Madison

[PSUJam]

He should have just thrown a chair at him.

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

Does it hurt your feelings that baseball players don't do a handshake line? The losing team packs their and goes home.

This clip is a clearer view and looked like Howard was just gonna blow off Gard

I agree with that too. It’s a sporting event and totally unnecessary (and I grew up on Marine bases where we stood for the Anthem before movies played at the base theater and stopped and got out of our cars for ‘Retreat’ at night).

Regardless of what Gard said, howard is an a$$hole.

Yeah, that's my take as well, if Gard hadn't insisted on explaining himself nothing would have happened. Still, no excuse.

Looks like Phil Martelli will be a head coach again, at least on an interim basis.

Looks like Phil Martelli will be a head coach again.

For at least a couple games, yeah.

 

[razpsu]

F*ck sportsmanship.

Is Rex from Maryland?

Howard pulled a similar stunt with Maryland's then head coach Mark Turgeon during the B10 tournament last season. Claimed that he thought Turgeon was going to attack him and that he learned growing up in Chicago that you have to defend yourself when someone attacks you. He also allegedly threatened to kill Turgeon during the incident. Really bizarre and unacceptable behavior.

 

[J.E.B]

Howard said he felt threatened??? My god he’s the biggest guy there. He was blow the coach off and the wiscy grabs his arm. Howard’s a whiner. But no severe penalties.

 

[NittPicker]

Howard is going with the "he touched me first" defense. I used that one when I was a kid and would like to think adults can do better.

I was playing golf today with good friend who played OL at Texas AM in the mid 90s. He had a great line… he said Michigan is the Big Ten’s version of U of Texas. They think they are way above everyone but never really show it on the field, in any sport.

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

I’m sure your militia in the woods agree

why the personal attack? race is in play in case you haven’t been paying attention

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

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

not paying attention to whats happening. why?

 

[LionJim]

I have seen zero indication that this was anything racial, and I have been paying attention.

 

[GrimReaper]

Nice sentiment....coming from anyone other than Gottlieb.

 

[Alphalion75]

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 should be fired. Let's wait and see if the leaders at Michigan have the same moral courage as the Ohio State leadership exhibited when they fired the legendary Woody Hayes.

 

[91Joe95]

The Big 10 leadership is a bunch of punks.

Goes along with being a true "Michigan Man."

 

[GregInPitt]

If UM has an ounce of accountability, Howard would be fired by tomorrow morning. But they don't, so it's more likely he'll get a contract extension.....

Lets hope that the Madison police file assault charges against Howard to force the UM administration's hand....

What Howard said last year after he got into it with Turgeon.

“ I don’t know how you guys were raised, but how I was raised by my grandmother and also by Chicago, because I was raised by Chicago. I grew up in the South Side. When guys charge you, it’s time to defend yourself, especially when a grown man charges you.”

 

[91Joe95]

not paying attention to whats happening. why?

Some people are oblivious to what's going on in the world they help create.

 

[PSUJam]

Please enlighten me to what's happening in the Rick's head.

He’s gonna say someone called him a

I don’t even care. This stuff becomes great YouTube material 5, 10 years from now. It’s a giant nothing in the grand scheme of things. If Howard can’t stop acting like a spaz, fire him. Otherwise suspend him and move on. I love fire and passion in sports and unless we ban testosterone, men throwing punches isn’t going anywhere.

You don't even care and a giant nothing, yet you chose to write a 5 sentence reply?? Fascinating.

It simply is inappropriate behavior by the supposed leader of the michigan basketball program. It sets a bad example for the student-athletes who are supposed to learn from him. It puts the school in a bad light. It’s bad all around. There’s no excusing it. “Boys will be boys” doesn’t cut it.

Didn't Howard say the same thing when he went after the Maryland coach last year? Could be wrong, but I thought he was suspended or reprimanded over that incident. Hmmmm, maybe starting to see pattern with him ?
