Does Howards’s behavior begin to become a problem?

Beat TCU

Coach K would go on tirades all the time. This is nothing, but is getting amplified attention because of the Wisconsin incident last year. Juwan is getting the most of out this young roster. As long as he isn't swing at anyone, I am more than happy to see some shouting and energy from the coach. 

They need to look at a change after this year. Not only is he under the gun because of the Wisconsin brouhaha but his team building is beginning to look suspect. You could make the argument he had a couple Wil E. Coyote seasons from what Beilein built. The program has been back sliding. And then to have a senior Hunter Dickinson get manhandled last night and his constant shit talking is just not great. 

Yes. Personally I think he deserved to be fired last year after the incident with Maryland. This is another example and it doesn't look like things are improving. It's embarrassing for the U and our kids deserve a better role model than this.

I think it's this simple: We can't have a Wisconsin Part II, but this is a bunch of nothing otherwise.  I doubt very much that Bufkin was bothered by this.  A coach swearing at or near a player is hardly news.  Does anyone here think Bo never had a choice word?   

I'm sure that this is an unpopular take, but I've had it with him and I wish they would have done the right thing and fired him after the incident with the Wisconsin coach. I find myself longing for the days of JB. Man, do I wish he was Michigan's coach again. 

Unproductive coach behavior but also not noteworthy. Izzo, Fran, Underwood look like this all the time naming a few in the league off the top of my head. 

The Wisconsin thing obviously can’t happen again but he’s not going to get fired for yelling, and shouldn’t be. 

This is an absolute trash take missing any context of what was happening in the game at the time.  Howard was upset that two plays earlier, TWill had seemingly been called out on a bang bang play and wanted a review (replay indicated he WAS out, but it was close enough to probably warrant double checking the play).  Then Hunter was called for a foul after U of M came up empty on the next possession.  Replay showed Hunter never made any contact with the player and successfully punched the ball out from behind.  Compound that with it being a tight and physical game already and it was simply a head coach venting those frustrations to a ref who wanted to hear none of it.  Complete nothingburger and something every coach does in nearly every game (including Hubert Davis earlier in the game for a far more extended period of time)

To the OP, I know you are (probably) trying to have a good faith discussion but this post is going to turn into nothing but a whataboutism discussion on Izzo and whichever other coach typically loses it during games and then someone else will show up and explain that posting critiques of Juwan is racist right after they get done shitting on Mel Tucker, "Frames Janklin" or Kevin Warren in another thread, which is of course not racist.  Good luck.  

I support coach Howard 💯 x 💯 Michigan is lucky to have him. Rough season yes but we are going places longer term. 

At this rate, it won't be any temper he might has that does him in. It'll be that his team isn't any good. For as much talent as he has, they should certainly be a lot better than this. They shouldn't be squeaking by everyone they play or getting blown out by bad ASU teams. 

Its a darn shame, because they were so stinking good two years ago, and that wasn't just a team of "Beilein's guys." Franz was never really "Beilein's guy," and neither was Mike Smith, Chaundee Brown, and especially not Hunter Dickinson, who were all extremely big contributors on that Elite Eight run. So Howard knows how to coach, but I'm not smart enough to know what the problem is. 

I just know there is one. 

I think it already is.  As an alumnus, and someone who likes to think Michigan has very high standards with respect to coach conduct, I am frankly a little embarassed by his behavior.

Thank God for Football... really helps alleviate my disappointment of the MBB team´s level of play.  It does feel like we have regressed year after year.  I still hope Huwan is the right guy and should be givem the chance to right the ship.  Changes need to be made ASAP and recruiting strategy has to change.  I hope the negative trend does not continue next season.

Y'all need to chill lol. This was a nothing burger. There is an ocean of difference between his altercation last year and this.

And also, that ref was a jackwagon and that crew missed several critical calls late in the game. i was also frustrated.

Yawn.  Watch Tom Izzo in almost any game.  

If we're winning, Howard would be "intense" amirite? But our performance is lukewarm, so his "behavior" is a problem. I've seen this movie before.

No!  You can take the man out of Chicago, but you can't take the Chicago out of the man.

Juwan is a fantastic coach.  He has a hard edge that probably can use some refining, but I would be honored to have child coached by Juwan.

don’t understand all the negatives on OP. yes, media does what it does, and a lot of other coaches do the same. doesn’t mean that Juwan shouldn’t be better in control his emotions on the sidelines. 

Going out on a limb, but the people in this thread who say his behavior is a problem and that he should have been fired last year are really just mad the team isn't winning.  If we were undefeated and won by 20 last night then those comments wouldn't exist--in part because the thread itself wouldn't exist

He ain't no Beilein.

I think there is a maturity problem with JH and he is 49 years old - to me that's a bit of an issue.

If you are going to get angry on the court, you really have to pick your spots and it shouldnt be a regular thing.  

Well Bufkin seems unphased or offended by whatever Juwan said so my guess is this is nothing.  TBH college officiating is so bad on all levels that a lot of them deserve an earful from these coaches (unless you are an angry elf of course).

A coach yelling at a ref? Why I never!

Juwan Howard is an idiot.  
I’ll be glad when he leaves and I can become a Michigan basketball fan again
