During Juwan Howard’s introductory news conference last May, Tim McCormick remembers one thought running through his mind.
“I was thinking to myself, 'Juwan, you have no idea what's coming,'” recalled McCormick, a former Michigan standout and NBA veteran who works as a pro and college basketball analyst.
“The basket is still 10 feet high and the balls are the same size, but it's not even the same game.”
That’s because Howard was returning to the college level for his first head-coaching job after spending the past 25 years in the NBA.
