On Friday afternoon, it was announced by the program that Juwan Howard had been fired as the Michigan Wolverines’ men’s basketball coach.
This news comes with little surprise, as the team went 8-24 overall this season and was dead last in the Big Ten Conference. On top of the on-court struggles, the program also dealt with off-court issues, with Dug McDaniel’s road game suspension and the altercation between Howard and now-ex strength and conditioning coach Jon Sanderson being the lowlights.
Now, athletic director Warde Manuel is tasked with leading a national search for a new head coach to guide a once-heralded program.
