OT: Mich - UW Howard Actions

[Warrior Code]

Why should there even be a handshake line? Totally unnecessary just like playing the national anthem. Its a sporting event, not some gladiator event. When the final horn goes off, go home, hey?

I agree. It would be fine to save them for special occasions. NCAA tournament game? Sure. Conference game in February? Not necessary

Do they know that the athletic director is black, he will do the right thing, this is not a black/White situation, it is 2 coaches, it takes 2 tangle.  I believe Gard should
be suspended as well.  Gard started the issue, then Howard ended it.  Both are in wrong plus a few players should be suspended as well.  This is not how 2 leaders
of young men should have handled the situation, black eye for both programs.

In spite of the welt on Joe Krabbenhoff's  head it only took 24 hours for Juwan Howard to become the victim and Greg Gard to become the bad guy. That's pretty fast even by today's standards

I envision some serious, serious sensitivity training in Coach Gard's future.

Rev Williams must be one of those blind/biased Scoopers that Clarissa has been prattling on about - what's his nom de guerre on Scoop?

Greg Gard deserves some culpability too but the "equitable" approach in no way justifies a 6' 9" former NBA player taking a swing at opposing coaching staff which in turn escalated and incited some college kids who they are supposed to be role models for into a brawl. This has nothing to do with race.

Good grief. 

[Uncle Rico]

Greg Gard belongs in jail for crimes against the game of basketball and I stand with those people against him

Save it for the end of a Stanley Cup playoff round.

Howard shouldn't have pressed in a game that was over. Gard shouldn't have laid hands on Howard. Krabbenhoft shouldn't have pushed Michigan players. Howard shouldn't have put his hands in Krabbenhoft's face. Everything that followed shouldn't have followed.

The real problem, however, is the lack of accountability from the "leaders of men." Gard just tried to deflect and cast all the blame on Howard. Howard refused to apologize and basically said he was still in the right. The duty of both men was to stand up, take accountability, and apologize for their part in what happened and the fallout. If they're going to be leaders, then lead in taking responsibility. I lost respect for both of them today.

6'9" former NBA player takes a swing at 6'7" former 5-star recruit.  The horror!  Two former big-time recruits, Top 25 studs duking it out.  Might as well have been a McD's AA game.

Juwan yelling at Turgeon with the purported "I'm gonna f'in kill you"

"I'm gonna kick your *ss, Calipari!"

[Viper]

We need Alando Tucker to chime in, hey

...I believe he's recorded some comments

[Jay Bee]

At least no one got dumped at the Auto Zone

"I'm gonna kick your *ss, Calipari!"
-John Chaney

I believe Cheney also threatened to kill Cal.

That's okay, threatening physical violence becomes cool if you are over 70.

[willie warrior]

Both pathetic.

That said, Howard is supposed to be a leader of young men. It doesn't matter what was said, you are supposed to be a role model; striking someone else is inexcusable.

In my mind, if Michigan and/or the Big 10 don't suspend Howard for the rest of the season, shame on them.

At least. But the Bi wont do it.

Careful! Your bigotry is showing. Judging someone on the basis of gender, race, religion, national origin or age all =bigotry.

[NCMUFan]

What a comedy!

[WhiteTrash]

Unless you're a crazy Madison or Michigan fan, I can't see anything but immature,  egotistical idiots on both sides. No excuses are valid on either side. Just a bad look for both UW and UofM .

I don't care what the punishment is, if there is even any. I don't expect much from the Big 14

[Uncle Rico]

Howard suspended by Michigan for the remainder of the regular season

[wadesworld]

Howard suspended by Michigan for the remainder of the regular season

The correct punishment. Now he should apologize and take anger management classes.

And Krabbenhoff should be punished, as well. A coach does not put his hands on an opposing team's players. Or his own players in that way.

[WhiteTrash]

Howard suspended by Michigan for the remainder of the regular season

That's 5 games. Seems about right.

Guess Gard is 2-3 games.

Nothing more to see here.
