Related: About this forumJuwan Howard has always been my favorite of the Fab Five, but this is pretty awful as a coach.

He knows better and absolutely knows that he has to set a better example for his players. I love the fire in his heart, but this crosses a line.

(8,813 posts)As a leader of young men, he has disqualified himself from holding a coaching position. His actions set such a poor example, the only way to pay is with his job. He should resign to try and regain some part of his reputation, resignation will save the college from having to terminate him.

(57,471 posts)This puts him on very thin ice to keep his job though. And being part of the Fab Five, he has to know there are forces out there looking for reasons to get rid of him.

They should both receive a fine and suspension.

(72,475 posts)No excuses, no suspensions, and no statement of contrition from Howard. He could have been the wolverines
coach for 20 years, been well paid, won big ten titles, and maybe national championships
BTW as an Ohio State fan I have always thought that Mr. Howard was classy.

(13,160 posts)Got ejected from the game against Maryland last year. Screamed "I'll fucking kill you!" at the Maryland coach and had to be restrained by his assistant coaches from going after him.

(21,746 posts)This is a guy who was involved in the biggest cheating scandal in NCAA history, he has 7 kids with 5 different women, one who had to take him to court to prove it. He's been sued 2 times for passing herpes onto sexual partners he was cheating on his wife with. He's a convicted drunk driver. He threatened to kill an opposing coach last year in a similar incident.
This is who he is, he shouldn't be anywhere near coaching young men. But he brings in money to the school, so they'll put him in anger management classes until he does it again and they are forced to fire him.
