Michigan coach Juwan Howard spoke to reporters Wednesday for the first time since his five-game suspension after swinging at Wisconsin assistant Joe Krabbenhoft on Feb. 20.
Howard started the news conference by thanking his assistants and team support staff for coming together in his absence. While Howard shared his regrets for the comments he made in the postgame news conference at Wisconsin, he said he takes full ownership in his misconduct.
“I can come with 1,000 excuses but I will not,” Howard said. “I take full ownership for my actions. ... That was not the right way to carry myself as a head coach at the University of Michigan.
