Michigan has turned to its past to guide its future.
Juwan Howard, a former Michigan star and member of the Fab Five, agreed to a five-year deal Wednesday to become the school’s new basketball coach, a source close to the negotiations told The Detroit News.
Howard's compensation will begin at $2 million annually, Michigan said.
Athletic director Warde Manuel interviewed Howard in Miami on Tuesday, and an offer was made Wednesday.
It brings an end to Michigan's 10-day national search that began on May 13 when John Beilein, the program’s all-time winningest coach, left for the same position with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
