One of the biggest disadvantages for Juwan Howard as he gets set to embark on his job as Michigan basketball coach is that he was hired late in the game.
John Beilein made his decision to go to Cleveland late in the college basketball calendar and pushed back the Wolverines hiring of Howard until May 17. He will be formally introduced as head coach later today.
While the loss of Beilein will be a blow to the Wolverines, so was the departure of NBA prospects Charles Matthews, Ignas Brazdeikis and Jordan Poole.
