It’s not the first time Juwan Howard has lost his temper since becoming a coach, but it’s arguably the most serious episode since the former ‘Fab Five’ member was inducted on the bench. from Michigan.
While his Wolverines had just lost to the Wisconsin Badgers (77-63), the former Bullets / Wizards interior thus took umbrage at a late time-out from opposing coach Greg Gard. The tone rose between the two men during the traditional handshakes, Juwan Howard having obviously first intended not to greet his opponent… before taking him by the collar when the latter stopped him.
But it didn’t stop there and Juwan Howard then attacked assistant Joe Krabbenhoft, triggering the start of a general fight between the players of the two teams.
The problem is that blows have been given, in particular by the Frenchman from Michigan, Moussa Diabaté, and that there could therefore be suspensions, for the Wolverines coach and for his players.
