Howard's apology comes after the Big Ten handed him a suspension and fine on Monday
“Big Ten Conference coaches and student-athletes are expected to display the highest level of sportsmanship conduct,” Big Ten commissioner Kevin Warren said in a statement Monday. “I am grateful for the partnership with Michigan Athletics Director, Warde Manuel and Wisconsin Athletics Director, Chris McIntosh.
The altercation began after Sunday’s game because Howard was upset with Wisconsin coach Greg Gard for calling a timeout in the final seconds with the Badgers comfortably in the lead. During the handshake line, Howard was seen poking Gard in the chest and Gard appeared to grab Howard by the shirt. Eventually, the incident escalated and both coaches and players had to be restrained.
