OT: Juwan Howard throws a punch

[Dove]

Long thread...did he punch a player? Or a staff member?

Okay, news just said an asst coach.

If the honeymoon is over then they just got a get out of jail free card. I doubt he gets fired though. Michigan will protect their own

Just like Michigan State.

Anyone else think the announcer had a great call to the fight? Who was on the call there? Lol

Does it matter?

Andrew Catalon. He does UConn games too

Yes. If he slapped a player that would be a very different story

He should be fired. The finger pointing was bad, but that smack could be considered assault these days. Not smart.

The person hit with the punch was the victim of battery, and could bring a civil suit against Howard. It was not an accidental slap or just a push. Howard clearly threw a punch, and Howard could be subject to criminal charges.

Don't know who the recipient of the punch was, but I hope he was not hurt badly. Gard backed away after the exchange with Howard and Howard despite efforts to hold him back, lunged forward trying to find Gard to punch him.

I see what you are saying, but I don’t agree. This is a really bad look for him or anyone for that matter.
