Michigan basketball head coach Juwan Howard slapped Wisconsin assistant coach Joe Krabbenhoft upside the head during an altercation after Sunday’s game.
In what should have been a great day for Wisconsin basketball, routing Michigan 77-63, Howard was allegedly upset because he thought Wisconsin Head Coach Greg Gard broke an unwritten rule of basketball unnecessarily. After Gard appears to grab Howard’s arm, more players, coaches and staff get involved up until the moment Howard hits Krabbenhoft.
The squabble that ensued resulted in the suspension of Howard, who will not be allowed to coach the reminder of the team’s regular-season games and will receive a $40,000 fine.
