Nads, as I'm certain you know, Howard has a long standing relationship with the player. Not only did Howard recruit this kid, but his son was a teammate of his in AAU ball, aina?

Cool story.

Funny story. One of my best friends in high school was a walk on for Michigan basketball and was a senior captain for UM the year the Fab Five came on the scene as freshmen. At dinner a couple years later a bunch of us asked him abut that experience and wanted to know which if the Fab Five caused the most problems behind the scenes. According to my friend, Rose and Weber were pretty mellow off the court and didn't get into any kind of trouble. The worst of the five he said was Juwan Howard, who broke team rules left and right, never made curfew on the road and gave the coaches hell. Anytime they tried to challenge him he'd threaten to transfer. Ironic then that he was the first to graduate and is now the head coach.

Good thing that people grow up. Howard has had half a lifetime of experiences since then.

He never should have struck out at Krabbenhoft. He deserved to be suspended, and he was. As I said, he'd be under a zero-tolerance policy with me now if I were his AD/president. But I certainly wouldn't have fired him. It seems his players would run through a wall for him. That edginess reminds me of Al, who is celebrated by many Scoopers for punching one of his own players in the face.

Yeah, but Al was white

Bernard Toone thrived on that. Krabbenhoft? deserved a b-slap simply by being RED.
Out.

There is also the flip side of the images. Howard's players know he will be there to console them when they are down, and will literally fight for them. He threw punches at Krabbenhoft, because he threatened one of his players.

That can sell well to recruits. I will throw hands to protect you...but will be there for your when you are at your lowest.

Lots of whistles down the stretch here in the OSU vs. Nova game.

Oldgym · « **Reply #780 on:** March 20, 2022, 03:48:45 PM »

VU-OSU has turned into the game Kevin Harlan was born to call.

Come on Nova.

Ohio State as a 7 seed playing 2.5 hours from Columbus makes all the sense in the world.

Norm · « **Reply #783 on:** March 20, 2022, 03:51:27 PM »

Another nice placement for a Big Ten team in the tourney and the building is packed with OSU fans. For a 7 seed.

They only care about the higher seed’s placement.

will the big 10 go 0-5 today?

MU82 · « **Reply #789 on:** March 20, 2022, 04:17:19 PM »

Glad Nova won. So mentally tough. Ohio State rallied, but Nova just kept doing their thing -- take care of the ball, get it to the right people, make FTs, hit a clutch 3, play tough D. A joy to watch.

I don’t like it and I expect Scoop to change it and agree with me

We need Topper to make it so.

Unfortunately it's his birthday and he's off today.

There is not a single coach in today's game better than Jay Wright.

Weird to see Theo and Joey on the court on opposite teams together for a brief moment.

MuggsyB · « **Reply #794 on:** March 20, 2022, 05:05:05 PM »

Joey just whiffed on a o-reb.

Thought the reds did pretty well in the UW-Colgate game, but ISU is not going to get one call tonight.

They really struggle to score.

No argument. If I could hire any coach today, it would be Wright. But he has absolutely no reason to leave Villanova, so I can't use my bazillions to hire him for Marquette, darn it!

Iowa St. unfortunately can't score and will get into foul trouble.

Iowa St. could have 20 fouls by halftime.
