ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Michigan coach Juwan Howard looked and sounded contrite about the swipe that forced him to watch his basketball team play five games on TV.
"I can come up with 1,000 excuses, but I'm not," he said Wednesday. "I take full ownership for my actions."
Howard resumed his role as coach on Monday after serving a five-game suspension for hitting a Wisconsin assistant in the head during a heated handshake line last month. His actions triggered players throwing punches, leading to Michigan's Moussa Diabate and Terrance Williams II being suspended for a game.
