Brawl in Madison

That’s a bad look, especially when part of your job is to teach these kids life lessons. Michigan has pretty high standards and this could cost you your job.

This is why it is bad. Pretty weak punch/slap, but you are supposed to be setting an example.

Not a fan of Howard. Doubt he gets fired, but should have multiple game suspension. Damn we should have beat that POS at home last Thursday.

Oh, and Gard, Davison, and Wisconsin can SHOVE it too.
 
Gard seemed to start it after Howard gave a quick handshake gard had words for him.
Howard was fuming after late timeout.
Suspend them both.
No, you can call a TO to enter the scrubs. Howard then instructed his players to foul the scrubs. He instigated it. He threw the punch. Should be charged with assault then suspended...
 
That could have turned into another malice at the palace.

Luckily it was a Sunday game and not Saturday night with people drinking.

This game shows why some of us weren't ready to give the Hawkeyes a pass for losing at home to a mediocre Michigan team. Wisconsin blew them out of the gym, and the Michigan coach didn't take it well. LOL

And Davison? What a *&*^%$^$. Maybe Iowa will get a chance to teach him and the Badgers a bit of humility in the Big Ten tournament.

I can't even begin to imagine the national outrage if the Iowa coach had done what Howard did . . .

But Howard knows he's entitled, so he'll take his one-game suspension and move on. LOL

Of course, Howard had his team pressing down 15 with 30 seconds to play. Very clever. Then he's offended because Bucky calls a timeout? LOL again.

Classy stuff, Michigan. Hail to the victors . . . ooops . . . LOL LOL LOL

I agree 100%. Fran is emotional and firey but under control.
 
here's a longer version

Watch:


This only a few days removed from Howard getting two techs at Iowa...

....and Holtman absolutely blew up on the refs during the OSU game yesterday.

...and Tom Izzo doing his routine bitch-fest on the officials against Illinois AND then rips into the refs during the post-game press conference.

I wish Fran weren't such a fireball sometimes, but to act like he is any different than most of the other B10 coaches is laughable. Media treats Fran differently simply because he doesn't win enough.
 
Should be fireable but the golden boy will probably get 2 games. Wasn’t Fran suspended a game for calling a ref a cheater?

Warren will decide the penalty of Howard to be getting booted the rest of the game will suffice just like he did with the MD game. Oh wait, that won't work. I suspect 2 game suspension. He should lose his job.

Rest of the season, IMO.
It would be justified if he was fired. Probably won't be. Rest of season suspension would I hope be what takes place, but Big 10 hasn't done anything about either he or Davison so far, so probably 1 game. The other coaches hate him because he's yelling at the other team's players the entire game. Turgeon and he just about got into it last year. The Michigan bench got a warning against Iowa for what was being yelled at Bohannon. Coaches don't take kindly to the opponent coach yelling at your players. No one can say anything publicly about it because a) it comes off as whining and b) they would be accused of other things.
