While the blame can be placed on the injury of Isaiah Livers leading to Michigan basketball’s troubles, or the fact that Juwan Howard is still getting accustomed to being a head coach for a team for the first time in his career, however, the blame cannot be placed on the injury to Michigan’s star player or due to the lack of experience from Howard.
Following the hiring of Howard, the former member of the ‘Fab Five’ managed to retain assistant coach Saddi Washington, but unfortunately could not convince the other assistant, Luke Yaklich to stay on the staff.
