Suspensions have been announced for Michigan coach Juwan Howard and two Wolverines players following Sunday’s altercation with Wisconsin. DanielDash_ has more:
The Wolverines will be without Howard, the reigning AP National Coach of the Year, for their final five games of the regular season as they push for an NCAA Tournament bid. He will miss home games against Rutgers, Illinois, Michigan State and Iowa in addition to the regular season finale at Ohio State before he is eligible to return to the Michigan bench in the first round of the Big Ten Tournament.
Wisconsin, however, received no suspensions. Gard and Krabbenhoft escaped unscathed, with the former facing only a $10,000 fine and the latter facing no discipline at all. Meanwhile, junior guard Jahcobi Neath was suspended for one game. Neath, Diabate and Williams can all be seen throwing punches on video.
Displeased, Howard attempted to walk through the handshake line without stopping. That’s when Gard appeared to touch his chest and stomach in order to physically stop him and explain the timeouts. The two coaches exchanged words, forcing their coaching staffs and players to restrain them. Manuel issued a statement later in the evening, revealing he spoke to McIntosh and apologized for the Wolverines’ actions. McIntosh, who addressed the media immediately after the melee, was adamant the Badgers did nothing to instigate the fight despite Gard’s physical contact with Howard.
