Juwan Howard’s status at Michigan (Under a Zero-Tolerance Policy)
- Thread starter Franisdaman
- Start date
Juwan Howard *possibly* involved in a physical altercation with someone that ticked him off .....
Never would have guessed that from him. I mean, just ask the Wisconsin coaching staff.

Apparently this altercation was with the S&C coach who has been there since Belein. The S&C coach was on Howard's son about his rehab schedule (he's been injured since October) and Jace missing some workouts. Juwan apparently snapped.
IF true, this is reason 10,000,000 on why maybe it's best if kids do not play for their fathers/mothers when they are head coaches.
(On a slightly separate note) the S&C coach has a son in the 2026 class who is a 5-star. It's been highly rumored that he will not play for Michigan (Iowa is recruiting him).
Juwan was mad for the S&C both doing his job AND looking out for his kid?
If any of this is true Juwan isn't going to be around too much longer.
He definetly has anger management issues. And a hell of a chip on his shoulder. After he threatened to kill Tuergeon, and the deal with hands being thrown in the wisconsin game he was totally unapologetic, and was talking about how NO ONE disrespects you where I come from in the hood.
He's under a 0-tolerance policy after hitting the Wisconsin assistant in Feb, 2022.
Here's video of that very ugly incident. Click on the "Watch on YouTube" link below.

I honestly thought he was no longer coaching Michigan when I saw someone else coaching at the Iowa game.
Michigan is trending towards MSU status with how they are handling their head coaches for the flagship sports of bball and football. Win at all costs up there

So if he’s under a zero tolerance policy wouldnt this basically mean he’s out as coach?
He's not currently the acting head coach--he had open heart surgery in the offseason and has slowly been coming back. Phil Martelli is the acting HC and Juwan is acting as an assistant currently. It's a weird setup and looks weird seeing him on the bench basically just sitting on his hands--he has been even less active since their Thanksgiving MTE when he got tossed after arguing a call as an assistant.
Depends on if your talking zero in either Celsius or Fahrenheit.
He’s never thrown hands at least.
I can see Michigan giving him one second chance of the Wisconsin deal, but two?
There's also a third incident where he had to be restrained from going after Mark Turgeon at the BTT and told Turgeon he was going to kill him and told him to meet him in the parking lot.
But yep, totally the same as Fran yelling at refs that they are "F'n cheaters".
I noticed that too and it was very weird. Juwan was just sitting there doing nothing for parts of the 2nd half while the asst Martelli was directing things from the sideline, talking to players, calling plays
He had heart surgery and has been told not to coach. He's on the bench but Martelli is coaching the team
Playing us is good for his ticker. Stress free environment.
Howard is a loose cannon and Michigan would be wise to sever ties with him asap…😎
Bottom line is one way or the other this will be Howard’s last season at Michigan… either he gets fired with cause for any altercations … or he gets fired because he sucks as a coach.
What a b*tch!
Unfortunately there’s tons of suburban dudes close to his size but way way younger.
Dude’s got a lot of future ass beatings ahead for him in his life! 🤣
My $’s on Turgeon.
Don’t know how tough Turgeon is but have zero doubt how wussy Clyde Howard is!
He’s so wussy I think I’ll call him Clyde from here on out.
Just like Scott Flop & Coach Celine.
Wuss boy is Clyde going forward.
Howard's favorite type of humor?..........
.......... Slapstick 🤣
.......... Slapstick 🤣
This is very depressing g for the rest of the B1G.
And this is coming from a fan that got whooped by his assistant.
Keep Jwussy! Signed all of B1G
you'd think but I guess it depends on how bad this situation got (I am guessing it got heated and bad
)Dean Oliver was shown towards the end. Obviously looks like he was trying to keep the peace.
It’s looking more and more like UM should have kept up the ban on the Fab Five.
Michigan blew a sizable lead at home today to Rutgers, and lost in lackluster fashion; At the end they had no fire in them, and basically seemed to be playing out the last 2 minutes, waiting for the final buzzer.
Michigan is 7-15 overall, and 2-9 in conference play.
Howard might punch someone else if this continues.

Dang. Howard's days may be numbered there whether he punches someone or not. It seems like that whole thing is headed in the wrong direction.
Probably just a coincidence but these coaches that put their sons on their teams seem to struggle at some point.
Howard's star son played one year and went to the NBA, joining another frosh on the team with early entry last year...no continuity. His other son is just ok.
Maybe it is more just coaches that get one and done guys like OSU the last two years. OSU and Michigan are at the bottom of the league and Hawks are middling after losing multiple guys to the NBA early.
Edey came back, so did boo Bouie.
PU and NW are at the top.
If the Murray twins were playing their senior seasons for the Hawks right now I think we would be a top ten team.
Final note:
Tucker Devries and Doug McDermott had fine careers playing for their dads so it is an individual deal.
