Things turned ugly immediately after No. 15 Wisconsin’s 77-63 victory over Michigan on Sunday.
In the postgame handshake line, Michigan coach Juwan Howard and Wisconsin coach Greg Gard got into a verbal altercation that turned physical when both teams convened near the scorer’s table.
Howard was upset that Gard called a timeout in the final minute of the game when Wisconsin held a big lead. Howard said something to Gard as they shook hands. Gard grabbed Howard with his left hand to stop him from moving along the handshake line and the situation quickly escalated with both coaches clearly angry.
