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.

This guy has to be terminated, no room in the college game today for this type of behavior.

I agree.

He can come back next year with another job.

What did he say in the presser?

He took no responsibility for what occurred and said the following.

 “I think that was very uncalled for, for (Gard) to touch me as we were communicating with one another, At that point I felt it was time to protect myself.”

Delusional.  The swing occurred well after the handshake altercation.  

It's the 2nd year in a row that he has had to be restrained from going after a coach.

How sad.

I hate to see it come to that. He clearly has anger management issues.  He threatened to “kill” Mark Turgeon after the Maryland game last year.  
 

Even with Michigan’s pompous attitude, I don’t think they will fire him.  Although, a lot more people are turning critical of him today as more facts and history comes out.

I’d vote for a season ending suspension with proof of anger management classes in the off season then put this behind him for 2022-2023.

It sounds like a continuing course of conduct and the bold at a minimum.

Termination, It sure appears that he has used his free pass.

Jason Whitlock tore Howard up in an article published on theblaze.com, it is a little too spicy for BGP but still a good read.

Whitlock is too objective for a lot of people.  Heck, Randy Moss said he was gonna deal with Whitlock when he saw him last year.  He later deleted that tweet.

Generally speaking I really enjoy Whitlock's takes. 

How many "free passes" do famous people get?    When do we stop and say that "unacceptable" is UNacceptable??

He slapped/punched/smacked someone whose only apparent offense was that he was wearing the wrong colors - the assistant didn't touch him.

When are we going to expect adults to be adults?   The defense that - paraphrasing here - that the Wisconsin coach had it coming because he touched him on the elbow is beyond absurd.

We say we expect excellence from our kids.   When are we going to start demanding some minimal levels of maturity from adults?

Put simply, there simply is no acceptable excuse for this kind of behavior.  None.   The kids didn't start the fight, the adult/leader/coach started it.  

OMG

If I was the AD, his desk would already be cleared out.   It's not like this is his first trip down this alley - and I'm quite sure he was warned before.

I used to. He was once my favorite columnist, but he became too predictable with his “takes” and lost originality which is not a good thing. He has officially become the rinse and repeat guy. He’s found his affirmation sweet spot with a base and has made it his new career. The Juwan Howard article - I went to thinking it would be something different seeing his name popped up in here - is the same exact article he’s written time and again the last several years. We get it. And I’m not saying I disagree with this or his other takes, it’s just tiring.

Maybe he is on to something that is getting worse so he keeps beating the drum.

And I don't see a lot from him, but when I do I like what I see. 

I always try to put myself in the shoes of someone close to the situation. If this happened to me as a rep or player of UM, I would be embarrassed.
