A lot of people are going to like Juwan Howard. We can say this with confidence because a lot of people always have. He was always one of the nicest, hardest-working members of Michigan’s Fab Five—the one, looking back, who was most likely to be a coach, though that was hard to see at the time. Now Howard will be the Wolverines' next head coach, and this is a wonderful story in a lot of ways. It is also a huge risk.
Howard has never been a head coach on any level. He has never worked for a college program.
