Wisconsin director of athletics Chris McIntosh released a statement following the announcement that Michigan coach Juwan Howard was suspended for the final five games of the regular season. Wisconsin coach Greg Gard was dealt a $10,000 fine for his role in the altercation that occurred after Sunday’s game between the two teams.
“Needless to say, there is no place in college athletics for what happened at the end of Sunday's game,” McIntosh said in the release. “Neither coach Gard nor his staff had any intent to provoke or incite any of what took place. I want to commend those on our staff — and student-athletes — who were trying to de-escalate the situation.”
