Message: [QUOTE="bballnut90, post: 4211504, member: 2117"] Disagree. He isn't pushing anyone. Once the coaches started chirping, all of the other coaches and a couple of players started coming up to de-escalate or defend their coach. Krabbenhoft was sort of just there, likely chirping back in defense of Gard, but he wasn't pushing anyone, he came up to where the barrier had been established between Michigan players and the Wisconsin side. At this point Howard was still chirping at Gard--it wasn't like the situation had de-escalated and Krabbenhoft came in and baited him. Howard out of nowhere comes around the side and smacks him in the face. Escalating to violence is 100% on Howard and JK doesn't retaliate. If Howard doesn't take the swing, literally no one would suggest anything about a suspension. It's 100% on Howard. [/QUOTE]
