*Former Michigan Coach Juwan Howard

Not that I expect them to, but his title needs to be amended.

This is one of those things where I could see it being glossed over and dismissed, just as easily as I could see it becoming an absolutely huge deal.

There could be some real consequences for Williams and Diabate. I would not be surprised if they are done for the season, and yet they were just following their coach's lead and doing what they thought he would want them to do.

I could see Howard's actions being glossed over because it's UM, but there are players from both teams that could get hit pretty hard. The thing about Howard is that we all saw this coming. He had that issue with the former Maryland coach and has charged officials on more than one occasion. Nobody ever had the courage to say anything.

Wait, sorry, I overreacted. Howard was just trying to pet that dude's head. In Howard's defense, most Wisconsin people look like puppies.

Then it is one paragraph halfway through the story. I will await the Izzo-Gabe Brown-esk expose' tomorrow.

Seriously. The crux of the Izzo story is Izzo has a temper and that ain't cool. Ok. Fair criticism. Then you can't ignore this. This is not an isolated incident. Howard has tried to attack two coaches in less than 12 months. If they don't talk about his pattern of behavior, they are fucking lemmings.

Woody Hayes was fired before his team came home after punching an opposing player during the Gator Bowl. And he was a successful coach.

Bo sent his players to the doctor for punishment and he still has a statue and building named after him, so don't hold your breath on them doing the right thing.

I’ll go with huge deal.

All Juwan had to do is show class and let Wisconsin dribble the clock out. Apparently that was asking too much

by **Motown Spartan** Sun 20 Feb 2022 - 18:56

If he was any other employee of any other company and did the same thing during an employer sponsored event to any other human, he would get fired.

Fire his ass immediately.

by PennSpartan Sun 20 Feb 2022 - 19:01

This is not the fault of Juwan Howard! This is another attempt at unfair treatment of a minority. Howard did nothing wrong. CRT explains he has no choice but to react this way. It’s probably Tom Izzo’s fault. Correction, it’s definitely Tom Izzo’s fault for his mistreatment of Juwan during the game in January. Juwan Howard should get reparations for this travesty today.

Signed, TrapperGus and Progressives everywhere.

I don't want to shame Woj's appearance, but he looks like a combo of a hefty Lindsay Graham plus whatever Chet was turned into in Weird Science.

Anyone who did this at any workplace would be fired. There are no excuses for this and if he is still coaching at Michigan tonight, I will be surprised.

They absolutely better file a complaint of assault against Howard and his players who threw punches.

You're insufferable and should leave.

No, but this wasn't a hard foul during the game, for which there are rules. This was an assault, and standard laws apply.

Besides Woody Hayes. How many other coaches have thrown hands? Serious question.

I don't think he loses his job. But we'll see.

Bo was pretty emotional at times, don't know if he ever punched someone though.

There is no "in the heat of the moment during a game", either in what Woody did or what Howard did today.

Michigan has to fire him.

by **kingstonlake** Sun 20 Feb 2022 - 21:03

They didn’t have the balls to fire a football coach they didn’t even want last year. They ain’t firing Howard. Every kid on that would probably enter the portal within 5 minutes and their BBall team becomes irrelevant again. But maybe the blue hairs prefer that.
