The head slap heard around the sports world at the end of a college basketball game has garnered more interest than the Daytona 500, NBA All-Star Game, and Olympics Closing Ceremony combined.
"It's sad thinking about what I watched in that handshake line as the coach of a gr8 Univ. ala UM could not control his temper & nearly set off a full blown riot. INEXCUSABLE behavior by Juwan Howard MUST LEAD TO SEVERE PUNISHMENT. UM President & AD should take ACTION NOW!"Clay Travis, the owner of Outkick, said it's just a matter of time before Howard declares"racism.
"How long until Juwan Howard accuses someone of Wisconsin of racism to try and save himself? I give it 34 minutes,"CBS college basketball writer Seth Davis said Howard's actions are"disturbing" and that the Michigan coach has"zero excuse" for what he did. "The more I see the video, the more disturbing it is. This is why Woody Hayes was fired. Juwan Howard needs to be suspended for multiple games. As I mentioned, this is not the first time this has happened with him and another coach. Zero excuse,"Lots of fans and media personalities blasted Howard for what happened. But there were some who said it would be crazy to fire the coach—or even give him a lengthy suspension.
"Apparently he didn't like that I called the timeout to reset the 10-second call. Because we only had four seconds to get the ball over halfcourt," Gard said during an interview withafter the incident."I didn't want to put my backups—I had all my bench guys in the game—I didn't want to put them in that position of scrambling with only four seconds. So I took a timeout and got us a new 10 seconds and it helped them get organized and get the ball in.
The Big Ten Conference issued a statement Sunday, not long after the altercation, saying it would take"swift and appropriate disciplinary action."
