Howard done for rest of regular season per Dan Wetzel
- Thread starter Colonel Homer
- Start date
The fresh prince of bel air should be forced to go through anger management.
Im sure the $ people at Michigan think it makes perfect sense.
Probably lobbying for Fran to get 3 more games.
I think only the Michigan athletic department can make that decision, but even if they qualify, they should politely excuse themselves from further competition after the B1G tourney.
Gard not getting any game suspension is bullsh!t. But it's what I'd expect coming from wisky.
I used to have respect for what Barry did for wisky football, but that no longer offsets their b-ball program which for me is the equivalent of nebby football. F@#k their whole program.

I'm pretty sure it was Woody's second offense when he punched (or was it slapped?) the Clemson player. He had previously punched a cameraman. Howard should be out for any post-season as well.
Fran gets 2 games for speaking.
Howard gets 5 for starting a brawl.
Very disappointed in this decision.

The fact that Howard will coach again this season is an absolute joke.
You do realize there would have been an outrage if Michigan would have fired Howard, right?
Gard grabbing Juwan's arm was piss poor judgement but that's it. He doesn't deserve punishment for that.
What's Fran's career total for games suspended for calling out incompetent referees?
A guy strikes another coach in the head in a fit of rage? I'm beyond appalled that no one in the league office sees this for what it is. He went after Turgeon last year in a very aggressive manor. Apparently you can cross the line and literally commit physical assault and it's not a big deal.
I'd give it some slack if he owned up to it. Instead he maintained he was provoked and that gave him a free pass to physically attack someone.
I wish the NCAA would actually step in and say he's done for a year. Not the remaining games, but a calendar year. But that organization has multiple teams in the top 5 right now that the entire world thought were supposed to get the hammer.
In summary, criticize the organization, they'll put you in your place. Punch someone in the face, no one really cares.

Agreed it is ridiculous! The people defending Howard should try slapping a coworker up the side of the head and see how it works out with their employer.
I would like him and Patrick Ewing to coach against each other.
If all you get is a one game suspension then Fran should send in Connor to clean Davisons clock.
Disagree.
He played a part in instigating. He had zero business laying hands on Howard at all; it was pouring gas on a open flame.
Howard's responsible for his actions. I'm fine with gone for the rest of the season, including any post season if they make it. That's at a minimum. If the league and/or um wants to give him more upon further consideration, I think his actions support that as well(up to and including dismissal by the university).
Gard's also responsible for the sh!t that he pulls. I don't think a fine is enough.
Gard did nothing out of the ordinary and does not deserve a suspension. Maybe the Big Ten sends him a letter suggesting that in the future he should just walk off the floor, but there's no way he should be suspended.
I don't like Gard any more than the rest of the world, but this is 100% on Howard.
Please change the record. This one is getting old. We get it, you don't like Brad Davison. The Big Ten has been letting him get away with his shenanigans this long. What makes you think they're going to do something about him now?
Absolutely. The league office is chickensh!t when it comes to laying out meaningful punishment. Except it seems when Fran wants to call out the garbage officiating. Then they're all over that.
Pretty certain if they do well in the NCAAs this year then he’s learned his lesson. If they don’t make the NCAAs this year or or maybe next then he hasn’t learned his lesson and will be terminated.
If there is no room for this behavior at Michigan why didn’t they fire him? Clearly they made room for this behavior. When do find out which booster will be paying his 40K fine? His statue is probably being commissioned as we speak. Michigan must be trying to reach Penn State status.
As Howard walked past him he says "I won't forget that" meaning he's going to remember the timeout Gard called. Gard can't let it go and grabs his arm. And off we go.
Howard found a coach who wasn't going to let his constant yelling at the other team slide. He should have been suspended last year for threatening to kill Turgeon. Thought Krabbenhoft might get some suspension. Also thought Kiabate should feel lucky with only 1 game suspension.
ok, I LOL'd
but be honest!!! you want Connor suspended so he can't play!
Bastard!
Now I have a strong desire to watch Izzo and his crew walk the imaginary HS line, shaking air, after Iowa beats them tomorrow night.
Have your guys walk off without participating in the HS line tomorrow night and make him prove it, Fran!!
Time to put up or shut up, angry elf.

Yep, this is the way I took it also.
Gard should have just walked on.
