The Big Ten announced its disciplinary actions following Sunday's ugly scene after Wisconsin's win over Michigan, in which Wolverines head coach Juwan Howard took a swing at a Wisconsin assistant. The punishments involve a five-game suspension for Howard and a $10,000 fine for Wisconsin head coach Greg Gard.
Michigan forwards Moussa Diabate and Terrance Williams II, along with Wisconsin guard Jahcobi Neath, were each suspended for one game. Howard was also fined $40,000.
“Big Ten Conference coaches and student-athletes are expected to display the highest level of sportsmanship conduct,” Big Ten commissioner Kevin Warren said. “I am grateful for the partnership with Michigan Athletics Director, Warde Manuel and Wisconsin Athletics Director, Chris McIntosh. Our expectation is that the incident yesterday will provide our coaches and student-athletes with the opportunity to reflect, learn and move forward in a manner that demonstrates decorum and leadership on and off of the court.”
