MADISON, WIS. — Angry about a late timeout, Michigan coach Juwan Howard began arguing in the postgame handshake line.The Wolverines’ inability to boost their NCAA Tournament credentials was the least of their concerns after a 77-63 loss Sunday at No. 15 Wisconsin. Their head coach could be facing major discipline.
After the game, Howard pointed a finger at Gard while complaining about the late move. Later, Howard reached through a crowd to get to Krabbenhoft. Replays showed Howard had his hand open as he struck Krabbenhoft on the left side of the head. “Someone touched me, and I think it was very uncalled for, for them to touch me, as we were verbalizing and communicating with one another,” Howard said. “That’s what escalated it.”
