I just rewatched the video.  Juwan didn’t even punch the guy who stopped him for a handshake did he?  He was essentially punched a random staff member?

That doesn’t change the point I’m making about kids and their role models.

Juwan Howard reacted poorly, clearly. 

He didn’t initiate the incident.

I’m asking you to clarify how it was permissible to punch a random staff member, while he was being held back by the Michigan staff.

I didn’t say it was?

You’re going out of your way to say he didn’t initiate it.  Agreed, but he’s responsible for how he reacts.

Should he be fired or serve a lengthy suspension?

Of course he is responsible. He should and will be suspended and likely fined IMO. I doubt he loses his job, but I wouldn’t be surprised.

Agreed, there was no justification to support what Juwan did.  I’m shocked he hasn’t apologized yet to be honest.

Michigan, loves to portray this “world class standards & prestige to the rest of the B1G.”  I’m curious to see how they react to this.  The Buckeye side of me at least.

If your kid swings at another kid in the handshake line, that’s your fault, not Juwan Howard’s. 

Agreed.

Juan Howard is paid to win ball games, not raise your child.

He should be suspended a few games and fined heavily.

That’s a dude I want to play for honestly.

If you're gonna press the opponents backups when you're down 14 with less than a min on the clock, how can you get mad the coach called a TO? 

I know thats far from the issue here but thats apparently what started all this.

Juwan Howard reacted to Gard putting his hands on him, let’s make sure we’re clear on that. 

He did, and grabbing Howard was a mistake, but a swing is a different thing.  Players get into pushing and grabbing scrums all the time.  They might get a technical called.  When a player takes a swing at someone that changes the punishment.  As a coach and the leader of a team, I think that amps up the punishment even more.  I wouldn't be surprised at all if he is fired.  I would expect the Big Ten to issue a multiple game suspension at the least.  The Wisc. coach may get suspended for a game as well.

I just read that the Big Ten commissioner can only issue a 2 game suspension.  There is another process that would allow the conference to issue a longer suspension.  Michigan could choose any option they want including termination.  He certainly didn't win any points in the post-game presser.

What did he say in the presser?
