Michigan’s Howard hits Wisconsin assistant after Badgers win

MADISON, Wis. — Michigan coach Juwan Howard became upset after Wisconsin called a pair of timeouts in the final minute of a game the Badgers already had put out of reach.

The way Howard responded could have major ramifications on the rest of Michigan’s season.

Howard took a swing at Wisconsin assistant Jon Krabbenhoft after arguing with Wisconsin coach Greg Gard during the handshake line following the Badgers’ 77-63 victory on Sunday.

During his postgame news conference, Howard said he was angry over Wisconsin’s timeout usage. Wisconsin called two timeouts in the last minute, including one with 15 seconds left when the Badgers led by 15.

“I didn’t like the timeout being called, to be totally honest,” Howard said. “I thought it was not necessary at the moment, especially being a large lead.”

After the game, Howard pointed a finger at Gard. Later on, Howard reached through a crowd to get to Krabbenhoft, and players from each side got involved in the skirmish.
