MADISON, Wis. — A frustrating loss turned into an ugly scene at the Kohl Center when Juwan Howard was at the center of a postgame dustup between Michigan and Wisconsin.
As the Wolverines and Badgers went through the postgame handshake line, Howard and Wisconsin coach Greg Gard got into a heated exchange that led to Howard striking Wisconsin assistant coach Joe Krabbenhoft in the head.
While that trigged a verbal spat between the coaches, Howard said he felt the need to protect himself after Gard touched him “unnecessarily” in the handshake line and grabbed his right arm.
