Maryland vs. Michigan

[CaboKP]

My opinion of Howard used to be that he was a good guy. He has changed my mind by being a whiney bitch at every single game I've seen this year (5 or so).

It is pretty great that he basically admitted to being scared of 75 year old Turgeon. When he is 20+ years younger and a longtime NBA player. I didn't buy his weak comments.

I agree. But if he were to take a swing a Izzo, my opinion of him might change again.

Can't argue with that!!

Only 8 years younger but who’s counting.

 

[notlongago]

Elbowing a guy in the face to protect the ball is a basketball move?

Wrong call by those officials

He didn't elbow him. If anything, the defender put his face where it doesn't belong

 

[ROCKY MOUNTAIN HAWK]

I think Juwan thinks having had a long successful NBA career and a successful stint as one of the most highly regarded assistant coaches in the NBA buys him street cred in the Big Ten.

Turgeon is just butt hurt that Juwan owns him on the court.

Lol, did you really just type that Howard had a “successful NBA career?!”

If he’s considered a NBA success story, then who isn’t??

I don't know Rocky. If you're just talking dollars, the guy has career earnings of around $150 mil. I saw him listed at number 60 all time for career earnings here https://www.spotrac.com/nba/rankings/earnings/2020/all-time/.
Speaking strictly on the financial side, I'd give him props for that achievement.

 

[MepoDawg#]

Wow, they’re saying Howard told him he was going to kill him.

 

[24 so far]

Mike Smith is a solid basketball player, but he looks like a damn poodle with that hair.

Looks like Prince, and about the same height!

 

[Raptorpeeps]

Looks like Prince, and about the same height!

Looks like he just stepped off the set of a Peter Jackson movie.

 

[24 so far]

he knows Michigan cheats so much they had 2 five star kids back out at the last minute last year (Todd and Christopher)

truthfully he is just pissed he is going to get fired and that his team got schooled by Michigan 3 times this season.

Or it might be there is some History to suggest it wouldn't be the first time........

Yeah a 6'9 ex 20 year NBA vet in elite condition really has to defend himself from a small old guy.

 

[hawk_a_holic]

Wow, they’re saying Howard told him he was going to kill him.

And no repercussions per Kevin Warren.

Fair enough.

He's fortunate that small old guy is Turgeon instead of someone like Dan Gable.......then Juwan is gonna have some problems.

Turgeon bites.

Too bad it doesn't. He is nothing more than a puff boy on a porn set. Gonna have to earn his stage name just like everyone else. FTR, Juwanna Mann is already taken.

 

[hawkedoff]

So there really isn't a suspension for trying to fight the opposing teams coach?

 

[TheTruthTheWholeTruth]

His name isn’t Fran McCaffery.

If Howard truly said that to Turgeon, then he should be suspended & ordered to attend anger management training. I suspect it would be a much bigger deal under different circumstances.

When a more benevolent incident occurred with Fran vs WI and OSU; it went viral, he was suspended, and he had to apologize profusely including making the rounds on the sports media.

 

[NI hawk]

Wow, they’re saying Howard told him he was going to kill him.

Heard this too. Big Ten commissioner and Michigan AD will do nothing.

 

[skydog0784]

The Juwan Howard approach to conflict... "I'm going to kill you!"

 

[WadeWilson]

Turgeon didn't charge him. I watched it about 20 times and Juwann just lost his mind. Turgeon never took a step towards him so Juwann is lying and a bit nuts imo.

Totally agree. His weak rationalization in the post game comments are beyond pathetic. He needs to own it.

He should also be held accountable similar to other coaches who have done the same type of thing. At least a 1 - 2 game suspension similar to Fran after WI & OSU incidents.

 

[TheRealHerky]

Holding certain people accountable for their actions is so old fashioned.

 

[doughuddl2]

The Terrapins told the Big Ten that Howard yelled, "I'll f--king kill you," when the two coaches were screaming at each other, per Jeff Ermann of 247Sports. Howard was ejected from Michigan's 79-66 victory for the incident.

"This has been going on for three games," Turgeon said. "I've been doing this for 34 years and I've called the conference office. I called the commissioner about what transpired in the first two games. And I said I wasn't gonna take it the third game. And so I stood up for my team, I stood up for me."

 

[BubsFinn]

Michigan needs to have a chat with Howard. They need to sit him down and explain that as the head coach, he is no longer a wise-ass college freshman and thus cannot act like one. That kind of behavior has got to stop. I'm sure Turgeon said something to piss him off, but we can't have one coach threatening to kill another coach on the court. It's not a good look.

Michigan quickly went from a great coach that was loved by all.....to a coach that is quickly climbing the dbag tree in the B1G.

All about Ws for Michigan tho
