Howard throws blow at Badgers coach after loss
Wolverines coach Juwan Howard sparked an on-court scuffle between his team and the Badgers following a 14-point loss at Wisconsin.
Things could be worse
- Thread starter PalmTreeSpidUR
- Start date
Mooney: "See? This is why you never call timeout."
Dambrot would drop him like a sack of potatoes.
That was a punk ass TO. But Howard has been quite erratic, pressure seems to be getting to him. He should have taken the Mooney non compete route for sure.

Michigan was pressing the second string when they were just trying to run out the clock.
Well, I think Howard is done. Too bad, I liked that guy but you can't act like spider23 coaching a middle school travel team and expect to get away with it 😉
I still can't believe a punch was thrown. I guess Howard gets the pink slip very soon.
Yeah, I don't know how a college coach in this day and age, can throw a punch on live TV, and not be fired. You have to be better than that. And then he was completely unrepentant in his postgame interview. Just a terrible look.
He shouldn’t get fired. People make mistakes.
Whether he should or shouldn’t, I don’t think he does. He’s been really successful at Michigan, which means they’ll find a way to keep him. I expect a suspension and apology tour, but ultimately doesn’t get fired.
I would pay Mooney to smack Will Wade!
If he doesn't survive - I wonder if Phil Martelli takes over. He is the associate head coach, and has more head coaching experience than Juwan. Maybe just on an interim basis, but if he is able to turn things around - maybe they give him a shot, especially to keep staff and recruits intact.
Better chance at a Chili Cookoff.
But I think he has some recruits coming in. This year has been rough, no doubt. Suspension is a no brainer - but not sure he gets canned. Maybe since season is basically over - suspend for rest of season.
We would pay anyone to smack Will Wade, if anyone n college hoops needs a side hustle
That’s a strong ass offer.
I didn't say he should. But the bar in this day and age is often set, so one mistake means the end of you. And often those discretions are far less than trying to punch someone in the face on live TV in front of 20,000 fans. Plus, he got into with Turgeon last year, granted he didn't punch him, but he should have learned to control his anger better after that first incident.
That's really good video quality for 1978.
The TVs we were watching sucked, the cameras weren’t as bad.
Good point. This happens frequently post JB after his players dry up, saw it here.
But ultimately think Howards stays, I don't think Michigan fires him.
He has a top 10 class coming in, including his son who is apparently pretty good
And don't forget - Michigan just signed their football coach Harbaugh to a 5 year deal worth about 37 million and Howard signed before the season for 5 years 17 million. While I agree they have cause to fire him - there would be some lawyers involved to get a settlement and I bet he could settle on half his contract to get rid of him.
Michigan has money, but even for them - this would be a lot to take on and would require some donors to get involved.
Could possibly open a window for JB to return and take over for a year or two until they find replacement.
But I got a feeling Howard keeps his job and nothing to see here.

I think JB comes here with PB coach in waiting. JB unleashes Burton, Dji, super stud from transfer portal, and magically Spiders are atop A10 again and deep NCAA run.
But PQ rather would have his friend mooney, so that LAX can keep top billing.

Wow, listening to Bob Black is making me sick too. It seems everything about this team is making me puke now. 🤮😷
Martelli will indeed be acting head coach while Juwan sits out the rest of the regular season.
Out of left field - but any chance you think Martelli would be interested in coming to Richmond if Mooney is let go?
He is older - 67. So not a long term option, but maybe someone for 5 years to get us back on solid footing after the super seniors leave and Mooney is theoretically let go.
Plus - you might be able to get him a little cheaper as he is probably not in it for money at this point. He makes 450K at Michigan right now. I think you offer 800K - maybe he is interested, not only to get back to head coach, but also gives him a shot to play St. Joes as I always felt that relationship ended badly and I wonder if he would like a shot to get back at them. And I think his son is on the staff at VCU - so family connection in town might tug him this way.

I like this idea. We should do this.
See this is why I come to this board — great original ideas with interesting facts. I had no idea his salary nor that he had a son at VCU.
Not really interested in Martelli. We need some young energy with a more modern way of thinking about the game.
? if you have a time machine, sign me up for the 2000 Martelli. but you can't just overlook 41-55 in his last 3 years at SJU. their fans were screaming to end that relationship and move on.
I think Phil's son may have been abusive as well at one time in one of his previous stops.
