As the Wolverines enter a brutal home stretch, they’ll be without their head coach for the rest of the regular season.
The Big Ten, in collaboration with Michigan and Wisconsin, announced Monday that it has suspended Juwan Howard for the next five games for his role Sunday’s postgame altercation when he hit Wisconsin assistant coach Joe Krabbenhoft in the head and sparked a skirmish at the Kohl Center.
That means Howard will miss Michigan’s upcoming home games against Rutgers on Wednesday and Illinois on Sunday as well as the rivalry rematch against Michigan State on March 1, the home finale against Iowa on March 3 and the regular-season finale at Ohio State on March 6.
