It is clear the love that exists between Coach Howard and his team.

And a member of the Fab Five has delivered a banner.

Thanks Coach.  Everything about this program is a joy to behold right now.  Next up, try to get 2 more banners.

Go Blue!

Agree with sentiment Coach Juwan is awesome, genuine, and we are lucky to have him.  He is my favorite coach in basketball right now.  The whole staff is awesome.  Always respected him when he played here as a cool guy, terrific player, and an old head.   Was great that he earned his degree at Michigan too, after entering NBA. 

He's a great coach and is going to continue to be very hard to recruit against.  Hope he Coaches at Michigan for a long time.

I would have never guessed that this team would win the Big Ten Championship outright after the Oakland game. That to me implies a hell of a good job by someone, because this team has improved a lot. They also tended to play better in the second half’s of games, which means good adjustments were made consistently. 

Juwan deserves a lot of credit, and the future is looking bright with the number one class coming in next year. It will be a lot different next year with a relatively inexperienced team, but if Juwan can make that team a title contender, he may even dwarf Beilein’s successes eventually. What recruit wouldn’t want to play for Juwan?

Thanks for everything Juwan! Please stay for many years!

Keep in mind basically everyone saw this team as a mid-tier Big Ten squad. Conference coach of the year, no doubt, and should be National COY as well. 

Aside from the concrete results, thanks to Juwan for molding an amazing team for us to enjoy. They are together, they enjoy each other, and they're having fun. That's a big part of what college athletics should be.

Think Juwan can coach football?  It's amazing how differently two beloved former players (JH & Juwan) are viewed at the same school.

It's one thing to demand respect and completely different to engender it via efforts like what Juwan Howard has made since he set foot into his job two years ago.  And the respect that he has gathered brings more respect to the whole program, continuing what John Beilein built.  And it's not just about winning, it's about relationships and attitude that are clearly displayed by the results.  Thank you for all you do, Coach Juwan!
