Juwan Howard

[Nicknack]

I'm amazed more stuff wasn't thrown at the Michigan team from the stands after it kicked off.

I was thinking the exact same thing. Kind of funny that we think about giving credit to fans for not throwing things at an opposing team, but that really was the case. I can't believe beer cups and other such things weren't thrown at Howard on the way to the locker room. First and last time (I hope)... good job Wiscy fans.

Which is his right if he feels that the other coach did something dirty. Let me be clear, Howard was wrong. However, and a big however, Wiscy coach confronted an already angry man and that's what often happens when you do that. Not surprising.

I think Gard wanted to explain his position to Howard. Howard didn't want to hear it and that annoyed Gard. Then it spun out of control from there. He shouldn't have expected that Howard would react the way he did.

As someone who knows what an AD looks like under Warde Manual I would be shocked if he’s fired. It would be less surprising to find out that Juwan Howard drafted up the press release and gave it to Warde.

It's pretty amazing when u think about it. Watch two UFC guys or two professional boxers after a fight where they've beaten the crap out of each other. Almost all of the time they hug each other after the fight and show their respect. They know getting in the ring or octagon takes guts so there is usually a mutual respect. But yet somehow asking two coaches of college kids to shake hands is a burden. Nuts.

Football players do the same. Its always coaches that have an axe to grind.

It’s weird. Juwan always seemed like a calm, mature elder statesman when he was with those Heat teams at the end of his career. But as a coach he’s just insufferable.

Heat culture kept him in line.

Lol. You don’t get to press the other team’s walkons with your starters AND tell the other team’s coach when he’s allowed to take a timeout.

I’m much more annoyed at Howard for being mad at this, than I am at the altercation. Just coach your team and don’t worry about what the other guy is doing, you big baby.

 

[FRANKIEFAN]

Refs need to be ahread of this and call off the handshake line if they see bad sportsmanship as the game ends.


He won't lose his job over this I think their fans wrote off this season a few weeks ago. I do wonder if he can turn it around after this awful season Michigan this year is like Washington the year they had McDaniels and Stewart and the wheels fell off. Hop still hasn't recovered from that.

If I was a reporter there I would have asked “how does your frustration with this timeout compare to your frustration after Chris Webbers? Please compare and contrast.”

Manuel is a pretty shady dude.

 

[Goin' Deep]

I'll be surprised if Howard gets more than a 2 game suspension.
He'll apologize...say he let down the University and the team.
That'll be it,,,,,

The clips of this more Juwan Howard looks worse.
My god he has way too thin skinned.
I don’t like calling for a person’s job.
He needs to go to anger management minimum.

 

[alphaorange]

Both guys were wrong. Howard just went overboard with it. He should be suspended. Wouldnt be surprised if he is fired.

Why was Gard wrong?

 

[Tango32]

Izzo's gotta be licking his lips, should be real easy to recruit against that

Interesting, I felt the exact opposite. Wiscy coach clearly put his hands on an angry Howard who wanted nothing to do with him. That's what escalated things. When angry with another man, you don't put your hands on them. Now, that all said, Howard clearly was most in the wrong, but let's not give a pass to Wiscy coach either.

 

[OrangeDW]

Why was Gard wrong?

Put his hands on him to stop him, so he could try to win the argument. Why bother?

Should’ve just said something like “remember it then, so what?”, and kept walking, after Juwan’s “I’ll remember that”.

Putting your hands on a clearly angry, aggravated, agitated individual is asking for trouble.

All so you can both yell your amazing “points” over the voice of the other guy. Lol, why bother?

That's a horsecrap cop-out. This is a new thing. How many fights broke out among coaches at the end of games prior to the last 5-10 years? You play hard, you win or lose and you deal with it. This is a thuggish reaction whether the coach is a minority or not. I'd say the same thing if Hurley did it.

 

[Alsacs]

I don’t want Howard fired but his attitude after this incident to try and rationalize what happened and defend himself while blaming Gard is pathetic.

Own your mistake and let others say this stuff.
What a joke. This guy is making me want him to get fired by how he is behaving.

 

[hoopsupstate]

Davidson was trying to find someone to kick their butt.

 

[orangefog]

5’11”? How is Gard even a basketball coach?

 

[money3189]

Why was Gard wrong?

He knew Howard was upset. You can’t put your hand on and grab a coach trying to walk by. You also can’t punch another coach because you don’t like what they said.
