I've watched the video 10 times, and I don't see anything wrong with what Gard did.

This is 100% on Howard for escalating the situation.

Lots of coaches get "handsy" after a game to try to explain themselves, but Howard reacted by immediately acting like a teenager looking for a fight.

Now that's an interesting video.  It looks like Howard was trying to walk past Gard, but Gard did grab him to confront him.  Then he played the victim.  Just like the Wisconsin players do.

Suspend them both.

From the other angle I thought Gard had crossed a line grabbing his arm and turning him. Both were in the wrong but Howard tripled-jumped the line while Gard, in true Wiscy fashion, toed that line. I'd like to see another angle, Gard constantly looking to his left looked sus. Howard and any player who threw a punch should sit for the rest of the season.

I agree. I hate Wisconsin but they are not in the wrong. I actually like Gard more for coaching his subs through the end. Howard taking exception to that is a joke and he is quickly becoming one too. 
 

if anyone had the right to be pissed it was Gard - Howard was the one still playing his starters to the end in a blow out and full court pressing Wisconsin’s subs. I don’t mind anyone playing till the very end but Howard wanted to do it but was appalled that Gard kinda did

Agreed and Howard doesn't have any right to be pissy about the timeout when you/re pressing their subs with 25 seconds left down 15.

I’m dying. Lol.    We’re singing Varsity. 

On another viewing now I’m dying with the fans chanting NIT.  lol.  Missed that the first time around.  This  Video is the gift that keeps on giving 

[HoosierAloha]

This is not excusing Howard striking the assistant. What is the reason for Gard to grab his arm?

Is there a more underachieving team in america than Michigan right now? Elite 8, return some of their top pieces, add more 5 stars and transfers and a bubble team that should end the season without a coach and at least 2 players

This is exactly how I’d summarize it in one sentence.

Stop him from doing the drive by blow by while he is saying I will remember this to tell him why he called timeout.   Probably shouldn’t of done it and will probably get a game but he probably should of let the clown baby just blow by crying because he lost

USC with the winner at the almost buzzer.

I mentioned earlier amongst the Juwan hullabaloo, Bo-Bo and Szelc are calling this game. Watch them do 2,000 miles of planes, trains, and automobiles from LA to Columbus in order to sleepwalk through our game tomorrow night.

Usc looks like they will survive.  Ellis just hit a midrange jumper to win it

Gard initiated this whole thing by putting his hands on Howard to begin with. He grabbed and turned the man.  I have no problem with the initial blow by from Howard and could care less what he said but what Gard did was unacceptable. Can’t put your hands on someone in this day and age.  Just can’t do it.

Howard obviously reacted in the worst way possible and will get his and rightfully so while Gard will more or less get off the hook.  Before Howard threw down it was Wisconsin police having to pull Gard back because he was the aggressor.  

I also have a big problem with Badger staffers getting in the face and having words with UM players before Howard did what he did.  These are student athletes and you can’t do that.  There should be serious repercussions for that but it probably won’t happen.  
 

Howard will get his but Wisconsin comes out of this looking the worst to me and Gard trying to be a tough guy and instigating the whole thing while probably getting off the hook makes me sad.

You can call Howard a clown if you want but Gard set this whole thing off by being Gard.

Howard is an opposing coach and not one of his players. If Howard wants to blow by him yapping about remembering it that's on him. Gard was out of line in thinking he could somehow correct Howard, physical confrontation is crossing the line. Howard grabbing his shirt and striking an assistant was out of line and should result in a lengthy suspension.

Howard was a clown way before today.   Just further made the case today that he is a clown show coach who’s true colors are showing for everyone to see

Yeah, it just replayed again and Gard's actions scream baiting (go figure) but Howard has to restrain himself.

I mean, it wasn’t just a blow by from Howard. He comes in yelling “I’ll remember that s***” at Gard. If that isn’t instigating this entire thing, I’m not sure what is.

Agree.  At the end Gard is still at center court yapping at UM as they are leaving trying to be Mr. tough guy.  If some want to call Howard a clown well that’s on them but Gard comes out of this looking really bad.

Gard should of let him walk by and did the handshake like this one.  lol.   All time classic

Handshake lines in general are kind of goofy these days. I like the smile and wave and go your separate ways thing that teams have done off and on because of covid. Or just meet up on the court with guys you want to talk to like the NBA does. Getting in an organized handshake line is very outdated.
