Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel released a statement on Sunday shortly after an ugly altercation between the Michigan and Wisconsin basketball teams where Wolverines’ coach Juwan Howard swung at Badgers’ assistant Joe Krabbenhoft. Several players were also involved.
“There is no excuse for any of our staff or student-athletes to get into a physical altercation with others regardless of instigating factors,” Manuel said in the statement. “I reached out and apologized to Chris McIntosh and president Coleman has reached out to UW chancellor Blank to apologize for the unacceptable behavior.”
