Michigan Coach Juwan Howard Swings at Wisconsin Assistant, Sparking Postgame Scuffle

Michigan coach Juwan Howard appeared to take a swing at Wisconsin assistant coach Joe Krabbenhoft following the Wolverines’ 77–63 loss to the Badgers. 

The incident, which sparked a broader scuffle between the two teams, appeared to start after Howard did not shake Wisconsin coach Greg Gard’s hand during the postgame handshake line. 

"Apparently, he didn't like that I called a timeout to reset the 10-second call, cause we only had four seconds to get the ball over halfcourt and 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," Gard told CBS Sports' broadcast afterward. So I took a timeout and got us a new 10 seconds and helped us get organized and get the ball in and he did not like that when he came through the handshake line. So I'll leave it at that and the tape will show the rest.
