Another Michigan player had a major swing as well.

Uhhhh....WTF??  Crazy.   

[The Sultan]

Jeez. Possibly throwing your career away because the other coach called a timeout. 😂😂😂

Yeah, wonder what Krabbenhoft said. Krabbenhoft came in late acting like the tough guy, and actually touched a Michigan player. No excuse for Howard to reach out and give him a love tap though.

Hes not getting fired.

But definitely should and will be suspended.

[Merit Matters]

So much anger

[tower912]

Suspensions all around.

I thought it was obvious that Gard called the TO in response to Howard pressing when the game was over.

[TSmith34, Inc.]

Got it. Just saw the video. That's a real bad look for Michigan.

Careful, saying something bad about Michigan will force keefe to call your HR department

[Uncle Rico]

Unacceptable and no excuses can be made for Juwan Howard.  Michigan should suspend him through the remainder of the season at the least

I was thinking 5 games minimum when I watched the replay. Anything less condones this from a "leader."

The rest of the season, including Big 14 tournament, would be even better.

I'd suspend him for the year.  There's something deeper there with Howard and UW, or so I've been told by a Michigan "insider".

[MU82]

Well, that's what Gard gets for breaking one of Tony La Russa's "unwritten rules."

[Ardmore Mug]

Welllllll....  after reviewing the video, in verrryyy sloooowwww motion. It appeared Howard was doing a walk-by, w/o a shake and prob saying something to Gard...  and GARD actually grabbed his Juan's arm, thereby, making Howard stop and prob said a few things that really pissed Gard off... Again, Gard grabbed Howard FIRST ! ! !, oh yea, then watch gard slip back into the 3rd row of people on the court ! ! !  lol

The mental gymnastics that people will go through to justify a guy who threw a punch just because the opponent is UW is amazing.

Moral of the story: get rid of the handshake line. This isn't 10 year old youth soccer. What good comes of it?

Yeah, I have no idea why they do this still.

[Ardmore Mug]

I didn't JUSTIFY what Howard did.... All I did was state what I viewed in Slo-Mo! ! !   Take what u want from that ! ! !Don't put words in my mouth ! ! ! 

[shoothoops]

If someone wants to walk past you and not speak with you, it's better to not cut off their path and put your hands on that person. It's pretty simple, you don't put your hands on another person unsolicited, and, that's what Gard did to Howard. If you do that you need to expect that person will put their hands on you or worse.

Howard's grab/reach wasn't a good response to it.

Washington State up on #17 USC on FS1. 55-49. 6 minutes left. Cougars have only 3, 2 point field goals.

The fact that this is pretty much the position Howard took during the post-game presser is one of the reasons I think the suspension should be significant. I think five games would be reasonable.

Gard deserves one too, but I think one or two games is enough for grabbing Howard's arm.

There is plenty of blame and I don't excuse any of them.  Krabbenhof certainly didn't de-escalate the situation.   I wonder if he gets a game, too.

[Spotcheck Billy]

Juwan Howard was more upset about Gard's timeout than Chris Webber's.

Sparty fans really giving Izzo the business on their fan board. Vast majority calling for him to step down. A few saying they can't loose him because of the "who could we ever get that is any good" syndrome that afflicted some MU fans a year ago.

I'm no Izzo fan (reminds me your typical HS gym coach only without the high and tight "Bike" shorts.) but he deserves a few more years before I'd conclude he has lost his mojo.
