Michigan basketball head coach Juwan Howard officially reinstated

He’s back!

A team spokesman has confirmed to Maize n Brew that after serving a five-game suspension to conclude the regular season, Juwan Howard will return to the Michigan bench ahead of the team’s Big Ten Tournament opener on Thursday.

The Wolverines have gone 3-2 with assistant coach Phil Martelli at the helm beating the likes of Rutgers, Michigan State, and Ohio State to tentatively secure positioning in the NCAA Tournament.

Howard was suspended five games after a Feb. 20 altercation with Wisconsin assistant coach Joe Krabbenhoft during the post-game handshake line.
