Woody Hayes says "yes" from beyond the grave.
Lol. It can be dangerous here not to follow that with a /S

Disagree. They don't have a seasoned Glenn Rice, Loy Vaught or Terry Mills. Nor a Rumeal Robinson. Bill Frieder was one of the top coaches in the nation. Juwan can't hold a candle to Frieder.
Nah. Historical situations may indeed appear twice. If so: in 1989 as tragedy for our Illini, in 2022 I'm betting as utter farce for Michigan.
Why couldn't our next game be against them instead of Ohio State? I'm all for kicking a team with a coach like that down when they are already not making the tournament.
I think league should suspend Howard and the player for the season. As to whether Michigan should fire Howard, if they were looking for a reason to they now have it. I actually think Howard’s presser performance in some ways was just as bad as the slap. Not once did he apologize or say he shouldn’t have done what he did, but rather blamed Gard “for putting hands on him.” But Gard had already walked away and the slap wasn’t directly a result of what happened between them. And then in response to the player throwing punches, Howard babbles something about team, family and having each other’s backs. Geesh.

Frankly, would not be surprised to see Juwan Howard cited for misdemeanor assault for that. You just can't do that. Gard touching his arm in the handshake line is not a "self-dense" excuse for smacking an assistant in the head ten seconds later because you are angry and cannot control your emotions.
Letting Martelli coach out the season and firing Howard for cause is totally viable if they want to go that route.

He's had a heck of a week that's for sure. Don't normally expect to top grabbing a live ball on the court but here we are. Maybe it was all part of his master plan to make us forget that happened

It worked last year - why not use it again? He claimed Turgeon "charged" him and he defended himself. The 6-foot-10 former NBA star said he was acting in self-defense against the 5-10, 56 year old Turgeon. Of course, Turgeon wasn't moving toward Howard, it was the other way around. Howard assaulted someone today. Call it a punch or a slap or a grab. I don't care. btw, I don't think Gard is blameless here. There should be consequences for both. Consequences should be more severe for Howard, but neither is off the hook.
If a college player acted like this we'd call it immature. I don't even know what to call it for someone of Howard's age and position. The ego and entitlement on this guy is insane. He clearly doesn't think he has anything to be worried about. I don't see how the Michigan AD can see this behavior and not think he needs to nip this in the bud. I can't imagine that if Howard survives this his behavior will improve, as he clearly doesn't see anything wrong with his actions, and there's a decent chance it can get worse.
I think the word your looking for is petulant.
Diabte threw at least two or more heavy punches and should be suspended. I'd be shocked if he plays against us on the 27th.
God I will love if Michigan and that squad is in the NIT.
Another sad not us the son had a vort head than his father trying to get him to calm down

Agree. Still I recall Schembechler's statement: "A Michigan man is going to coach Michigan." Why, Frieder, why?
I was being a bit facetious. I think they're loaded, but not on the level of Rice, Robinson, Vaught, Mills, Higgins. That team was immensely talented as well as being experienced.
Disagree with you completely on Frieders. IMO he was a poor coach. That was a different team the minute they fired him. Suddenly (and sadly for us) they started playing to their potential.
The "Woody Hayes" comparison they mention there is right on, IMO.Does Howard Survive This? | mgoblog
He's had plenty of issues before keeping his anger in check, but you CAN NOT throw a punch at an opposing coach/player as the frickin' head coach. Just utter lunacy, never seen it. Minimum I have to imagine he's suspended for rest of year. Do we think he gets fired?mgoblog.com
interesting discussion on UM forums.. they think he's done
It's not beyond Warren suspending underwood for incitement.So… Kohl Center = Pizza Hut parking lot?
LOL that's a really big dumpster
Diabate and potentially one or two others may get disciplinary action. If Diabate gets suspended 3 games, they have no chance at ncaa bid.
I wouldn't have gone with Leron Black or Lucas Johnson LOLI hope Deron Williams is on our bench when we play Michigan.
On Letterman show, he tells a story (watch youtube vid) about a nice little old lady he was kindly tossing his chair to.
"Gard put his hands on me!!!!!" after not mentioning what he said or the fact that he didn't try to shake hands.
I know, I know I'm enjoying this way too much, I probably need help with my anger issues. LOL
3 games? Diabate should be out the rest of the season. At a minimum.
Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, with Alabama in between.
