Michigan coach Juwan Howard appeared to take a swing at Wisconsin assistant coach Joe Krabbenhoft following the Wolverines' 77–63 loss to the Badgers.
The incident, which sparked a broader scuffle between the two teams, appeared to start after Howard did not shake Wisconsin coach Greg Gard's hand during the postgame handshake line. As noted by the Wisconsin State-Journal's Jim Polzin, it's possible that Howard was frustrated by Gard calling a timeout with 15 seconds left in the game and his team up 15 points. Michigan center Hunter Dickinson told reporters afterward the Wolverines did not like how the Badgers handled the conclusion of the game.
