Idk, Howard got butthurt because Wisconsin called a timeout when Howard had his guys pressing down 15 with under a minute left. This stuff follows Wisconsin for sure, but this one is 100% on Juwan Howard for being a raging d-bag imo. Hope he pays dearly for it. 

He's certainly not a first time offender when it comes to post-game incidents and it should carry a significant penalty.

I really can’t see him getting fired. Should he? Debatable with fair points on both sides. Could he for cause? Absolutely. I just can’t see them going all the way, but I could definitely see him getting shut down for the rest of the year. 

I don't think he gets fired either although it  would be interesting to see what would happen if he wasn't a Michigan alum.

“Juwan Howard has not apologized for anything that happened,” tweeted Michael Cohen of the Detroit Free Press. “Said he was upset about Wisconsin calling a timeout late in the game. He expressed that frustration to Greg Gard. Howard said Gard touched him during the postgame line and he felt the need to defend himself.”

I mean Greg Gard is like Andre the Giant and poor Juwan a clone of Pee Wee Herman.  I can't stop laughing!

Didn’t he say something like that last time when he went after Turgeon?

that’s a funny answer from him because He is like twice the size of Gard, but also because he didn’t hit Gard and also because he threw the punch way after he was separated from Gard.

There isn't justification for what Howard did. At the same time, there is no reason for Gard to have been pushing Howard's arm. It's odd that these things follow certain teams. You could follow this up the chain. Coaches should control their players, the Big 1.o should control their coaches and the level of physicality allow in games. While this wasn't directly related to physicality, I'm a little impressed most players have kept their composure in most games this season.

Kind of wonder how many of you are actually upset or secretly wish he landed that punch.  Wisconsin is dirty as hell and personally I’m shocked it hasn’t happened earlier.  Juwan Howard is big trouble and as a coach your supposed to keep your cool, but let’s not act like the conference officials and refs didn’t have any built up to lead to this mess.

All Howard did was act on the same emotions every coach, player, and fan have after playing Wisconsin. I have wanted to do that to my TV for the last decade playing them....

Feel the same. I can’t get too worked up over a slap against Wisconsin. Those douches are the annoying guy in pickup who plays overly physical and when called on it goes “what…I’m just D-ing up bro.”  
 

He’ll get suspended and he should. It’s a dumb move and they’re lucky it didn’t spill over into the players. But he did what everyone has wanted to do and the fact that it was one of their former try-hard players on the receiving end makes it even better.  
 

Also Howard seems like it an idiot. So if he’s fired, who cares? 
 

I’m marking this down as a true win-win for Hoosier fans.

I’m a competitive person and have wanted to punch opposing players, coaches and fans a million times but you just can’t. And you certainly can’t when you are the head coach.

it’s one thing for the players to get into it in the heat of the moment, absolutely ridiculous for coaches after the game is already over
