OT: Juwan Howard throws a punch

[nelsonmuntz]

He should get a lifetime ban from the NCAA. If he was coaching at Eastern Michigan that is exactly what would happen.

 

[UConnSwag11]

Hot take: An even worse look than the NDSU kid

two of the Michigan players are done for the year

 

[firstnline]

Warde will monitor the situation. Nope, I believe he will fire him.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Well that’s cause if I’ve ever seen it.

And I'm thinking that you of all people could make a GIF of Kevin Ollie getting T-d up for knocking papers off the scoring table.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

Now this is how you embarrass a program.

Should be fired. He poured gasoline on a fire - his players started throwing punches after he set the example.

 

[UConnSwag11]

Terrance Williams and Moussa are done

 

[Vowelguy]

Pretty much gotta be fired.

 

[jibsey]

Open hand slap not a punch but he needs to be suspended and not for 1 game IMO. Don;t get me wrong it is serious but maybe he can’t coach the post season tournament, that’s pretty severe. A suspension until next year.

 

[OUTATIME]

Very, very bad look.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

I would not even let Howard back on campus again if I was the Michigan President. And I would put Warde on notice for even bringing Howard on campus. I would be a little more lenient with the players. They were following the coaches lead.

This was not a “heat of the moment “ situation. Howard started a fight and got his players involved. Lifetime ban from the NCAA.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Word on the internets is Warde is monitoring the situation.

 

[scotty0330]

With Big warde there no doubt he will do the right thing. Just gave harbaugh extension after he tried to leave. He is a superstar after all

 

[MexicoHusky]

Didn't he get into a heated argument last year during the Big 10 tournament? It wasn't Wisconsin was it?

 

[LBird33]

Wow isn’t this the kinda of thing that gets the crowd fired up. (Sarcasm).

 

[Poe]

Turned a punch into slap back into punch … that’s quite a skill

I believe it was Maryland.

And that's not even close to what's really going on with Harbaugh. He's a really, really bad person. There's a lot of problems up at Michigan these days.

Trying to downplay the incident because it was not a closed fist punch is pretty silly and a horrible take on it

 

[PNolanFan]

The fact that his players joined the fray makes this so much worse. I think that he kind of has to go at this point

He went to punch, was afraid to hurt his hand and slapped the guy, then turned it back into a punch for the camera. Classic NBA tough guy move. Soft.

 

[tcf15]

Greg Gard initiated it - stops Howard in the layup line and starts jawing with him.

MIchigan will risk embarrassing itself as an institution for football success. For basketball success? Not so much. I expect this to be dealt with seriously.
