The honors are starting to pour in for Michigan’s Juwan Howard.
On Tuesday, Howard was named the Big Ten coach of the year by the league coaches and media after guiding the Wolverines to their first conference regular-season title in seven years.
He’s first Michigan coach to earn the award since John Beilein in 2014 and fourth in program history, joining Johnny Orr (1974, 1974) and Bill Frieder (1985).
Howard was also named the Big Ten’s top coach by The Associated Press — receiving 14 of 15 votes — and earned national recognition as Sporting News’ coach of the year.
