Michigan coach Juwan Howard hit Wisconsin assistant Joe Krabbenhoft after arguing with Wisconsin coach Greg Gard during the handshake line following the Badgers’ 77-63 victory.
Howard said he reacted after someone from Wisconsin put hands on him. Video showed Gard had his hands touching Howard’s arm or wrist area while trying to explain the reason for the timeout.
“There’s no room, no space for conduct like that in any competition, much less a Big Ten competition," McIntosh said."The Big Ten takes pride in sportsmanship. The Big Ten takes pride in acting with class. That didn’t happen today.” The Big Ten issued a statement saying it's “aware of a physical altercation involving Michigan head coach Juwan Howard” and that it's assessing the incident. Howard said he'd respect whatever decision the Big Ten makes.
“I was not going to put them in position, where the ball had already gotten knocked out of bounds, to have to break a press in four seconds,” Gard said. Hunter Dickinson scored 21 points for Michigan , which shot just 4 of 25 from 3-point range. Eli Brooks had 14 points, and DeVante’ Jones finished with 11.
“I would say it was just a good 40-minute basketball game — physical game, Big Ten basketball,” Wahl said.Wisconsin raised former Badgers star Michael Finley’s No. 24 jersey to the rafters during a halftime ceremony. Wisconsin’s pep band wore white No. 24 T-shirts throughout the game.
