With just under three minutes left in Michigan basketball's 103-91 win over Iowa on Friday night, Brandon Johns exited the game for what seemed like the final time.
The crowd roared in approval, giving Johns an ovation for what was undoubtedly the best game of his young career: 12 points and eight rebounds (five offensive) in 19 energy-packed minutes.
As Johns began the walk down the bench, he was stopped by his coach. Juwan Howard pulled him close and began speaking in his ear. Then he gave him a pat on the behind and let Johns continue on his way.
