Juwan Howard losing his shit.
- Thread starter tumorboy
- Start date
Trying to bait someone into throwing a punch at his teammate.
Re-engaging after that, when they are trying to get teams to their locker rooms, should mean at least a 1x game suspension. That's crap.
“We’re singing ‘Varsity’.” The Wisconsin basketball team sings the alma mater in front of the student section after every game, I think. It is a cherished tradition. They were trying to clear the court, and he didn’t want to leave without doing the song.
PJ Fleck managed to not throw hands at KF. Fran managed to not throw hands at that Illinois assistant.
Life is hard, but it’s not hard to avoid being the a$$hole.
By doing typical douchey Davison things like trying to provoke the Michigan players and coaches even more.
Not sure I’d go close to Brad Davison in that situation given the things he does in-game while the cameras are rolling with the refs not distracted.
I would be perfectly fine if Howard gets canned AND Gard gets a reprimand or suspension. The fact that Howard went full psycho doesn’t mean that what Gard did was cool.
I would be surprised if Gard got any suspension.
I would as well. My guess is that Howard will get significantly less punishment than he deserves and Gard will get nothing…..because the league isn’t interested in ending this kind of crap.
This is wrong. Howard said something and Gard grabs his elbow and turns him around. That’s when things go sideways. Shouldn’t have touched him when he was hot.
That is true. But, Howard came in hot to that handshake line when he shouldn’t have. The final result wasn’t even that close. And then he lost control of himself, in a violent way. That is not the kind of image or publicity the University of Michigan wants.
Howard could have kept his cool and just said GG instead of yelling the F word or whatever. Howard was looking for a fight.
Howard should be fired. It's that simple. I'm surprised it's even being debated.
The funny thing is if Howard had walked away he could have owned the narrative after. Now he doesn't
Both of these coaches should be in trouble. What an embarrassment for them, their families, their players and players families, the schools, and the conference.
Imagine the shit storm if a white coach slapped a black coach. Guy would have been fired before sundown.
Conversations on race isn’t always pleasant.
double standard works both ways.
That press conference man. Zero flipping remorse.
Judging by Michigan's statement, they're going to accept the B1G's punishment and do nothing more and the conference can't fire him.
Think it's more about him being a famous alumni. If Kevin McHale had done something similar at let's say U of Minnesota. There would be similar deliberations.
Not true in the least. Howard would have just kept walking, Gard was the one that grabbed him and tried to stop him and make him listen to him. That doesn't fly. If that happens in the office, I'm walking somewhere and someone grabs me because I don't want to stop and talk to them, I'm going to be heated.
That in no way justifies Howard throwing a punch, but I thought Howard's initial reaction was justified, to get in Gard's face for grabbing him. But swinging is a whole other level, and should be punished significantly.
Howard should be suspended the rest of the year, and Gard should be suspended for a game. Unless you're a cop or a bouncer, there isn't a situation where you're justified to grab someone and stop them in your tracks just because you want to.
I'm saying the double standard with Juwan is more about his fame/Fab 5/NBA/alumni connections. Than his race.
Oh, I totally agree double standards exist in society regarding race and is not unique to one side of the political spectrum.
I still am not convinced race would have entered the conversation had Howard been white and the Pissconsin assistant black. Look at the discussion on the initial exchange between Howard and Gard. Most people are saying while both coaches were in the wrong Howard crossed the line and was the worst offender. Not once (that I’ve read at least) has anyone with any sort of credibility made this about race or come to Howard’s defense under the working theory his actions were justified because he’s an oppressed person of color who was just retaliating from 500 years of persecution.
What right-winged idiots like @chodehawk do not seem to grasp is they are just as pathetic and reprehensible as the nerdy white liberal wanting to turn every perceived offense or injustice into a racial issue. It’s called laying siege of a vacant castle, and guys like chode are just as much a part of the problem as the aforementioned libturd type.
Rarely does race get brought up in discussions about basketball or football anymore, especially since most fans have moved on from puerile musings about black quarterbacks. The right-wingers going straight to suppositions about role reversals of race in the context of sports are fugging idiots who need to evolve.
LOL. Did you just miss the whole cycle about "Black coaches in the NFL" and the Brian Flores incident?
