Not saying he shouldn't be fired or suspended...

But y'all need to watch that video again.

https://sports.yahoo.com/inside-cha...basketballs-211009745.html?fr=yhssrp_catchall

Coach Gard grabs Howards arm, and puts a hand on his chest to stop him from walking by. Then words are exchanged and both coaches are poking and pointing fingers. But it was settling until the assistant butted in and escalated things. You can see the MICH players reacting to what he is saying, and then Howard reaches to slap him. You really think there wasn't some racial slurs being tossed about there??? YES... I'm a HUGE MICHIGAN fan and I agree Coach Howard needs to be reprimanded, but to act like he's just a thug, that he started this is disingenuous at best, or in plainer terms, complete BULLSHIT. :shrug:

Also, nobody mentions how many WISC players are in the Michigan bench area... Michigan is holding their "line" but WI players are the ones taunting, threatening, pursuing, don't get it twisted. :SIB

I can't get pics to load... but if you re-watch the video you'll see what I see... or what you WANT to see.:popcorn2

Sorry but Howard's the prick in the whole thing; and not surprising.

There is no doubt he's saying something as he quickly tries to walk by the Wisconsin coach; with his "mask on" it's covered up; ut he clearly doesn't like that the wisc coach called timeout with 15 seconds left...to that I say; fuck off....your starters are in pressing walk ons down double digits????

I really wish in those scenarios teams would call timeout more; put their starters in and run a fucking fast break/backdoor lob dunk.

When the game is over; learn how to lose vs the joke the last 60 seconds of a college games turns into.

He said... "I'll remember that!"

It was recorded on video by a close by reporter. He was not the one who instigated contact, that would be the WISC coach. But because it was on National TV and in front of the cameras, he probably thought he could get away with touching Howard to show his players how manly he was... how he had their back. That kinda backfired.

The Wisconsin coach should have said "I'll remember that"

Pricks that continue to press/foul/go for steals down 15 with 20 seconds left deserve to see timeouts called....too bad the Wisconsin coach didn't put the starters back in, get across half court, call another timeout and diagram a last second play.

What racial slurs? If you are going to play the proverbial race card you need something called proof.

just my 2 cents... it's simple really.

What's the nature of the competition? Do tennis players with a big lead stop trying to score points?
Golfers stop trying to make putts w/a big lead?
Bowlers stop trying to knock down pins?

I'm a believer in playing out the clock... I'm not gonna keep my starters in to run up the score, but if my subs can do it then I'm okay with it.
If I'm way ahead and I've got subs in the game, I want them to run the offense and shoot the ball, try to score.

I Hate when a coach sticks in his subs (that hardly ever play) and demands they just hold the ball and run out the clock... give em a chance to PLAY basketball.. that means shooting and trying to score!

IF my team is behind by a lot, then I'm going to play defense and try to steal.. make my players work and eventually put in subs and have them press and try to steal and try to score... until the clock runs out.

and I'd definitely let my philosophy be known by whoever we're playing.. Play out the game.

I also hate how the game has turned into some teams standing around letting 30 secs run off while defense just stands there not pressuring... play the game. Put in subs to let THEM play the game.

If subs are getting trapped and turning the ball over in the last 30 seconds, so be it. We've got a big lead, and we ARE PLAYING the game... we'll still be ahead w/a turnover score.

DON'T BLAME the other teams subs for trying to play the game and score points... THAT's Why They Play!

Take your stuffy shirts off and stop looking at everything as "he's disrespecting me/our program".. BS!


The ONly time I get upset with the other coach is IF he's allowing/encouraging dirty play by his players.
Scoring-wise, if they run it up then it's BECAUSE MY TEAM ISN't Good Enough to Stop em.
What goes around will eventually come around, and I won't have My team sitting on the ball w/a 20 point lead..
Run the offense, try to score.. Play the Game.


Coaches behavior AFter the game is inexcusable... NEVer allowed to get physical w/another coach.

Has Mich been happy w/Coach Howard? Has he been an outstanding role model until this? I don't know...
THAT factors in to whether I suspend him or terminate him...

But he at LEast gets suspension.

Timeout being called is a dick move. True story. Both coaches are at fault. I have never thought Howard a ?thug?. He is emotional though and a competitor. Most people in that same situation would have had a heated discussion.

I doubt a racial slur was said unless the opposing coach is a complete imbecile which he is not. Most of his players are black. If he was a racist, it would have come out long ago. However, it?s quite apparent that Several guys here wouldn?t want Howard dating their daughters though; that?s quite obvious :0corn

Sorry...

I asked you to think... 🤔 read it again.... I'm not a black guy playing the race card, and I don't watch CNN. I believe my eyes, and when you see the reaction of MOST of the black players and coaches, it's obvious the WISKY asst must have crossed the line. Does that condone physical violence?? Absolutely not... but if you are so na?ve that you could use that language in mixed race company and NOT GET SLAPPED, well as they say in the south, "Well bless your heart! ❤"

I said what I said.... Howard will get a two game suspension and $10,000 fine from BIG 10. Michigan may add more, we'll see.

It will blow up much larger than that if Howard reports racial remarks from any of the Wisconsin coaches or players. Al Sharpton will be involved, maybe Ben Crumb!

?it?s obvious the Wisky asst must have crossed the line?? What kind of interpretation is that? Have read 25 or more stories on this and no one else comes up with that . Jason Whitlock knows more about Howard that any of us having covered Michigan sports during the Fab 5 era.

It think we maybe forgot that Michigan was pressing. I think coach Gard wanted to give more time for the reserves to get past mid court.

Even if that is what sparked it off... doubt Howard or his players will say so. Think they would rather see them down the road in Big 10 Tourney on neutral court. [emoji52] But again, watch the video. That assistant says more than sore loser.

Here is how you stop that shit. Don't do the hand shakes after the game. My guess is the Big 10 will eliminate the hand shake in the Conference Tournament.

Should they stop post game press conferences as well?
