The best thing about this video is 34 was dead set on singing whatever Varsity is haha.
Baseball ⚾️ With Michigan about to fire Howard, how high on the list will Oats be?
- Thread starter G.O.A.T-23
- Start date
And Howard could have ignored
We can always control our actions. Ask yourself, who looks worse today? Just walk away and be the bigger person
Obviously, I think Howard looks worse or I wouldn't have said he might get fired and Gard gets suspended. He did try to walk away but Gard put his hands on him, stopped him, and them got in front of him. Which is why I stated Gard is responsible for starting the altercation.
Howard should have been fired before the sun set yesterday. Nothing in the confrontation gives him a free pass on the punch.
Millionaire grown adult head coach swinging a fist with pure anger and hate in his eyes. No excuse for that kind of behavior. Many many others would have already been fired. He will get a free pass because of who he is.

I asked that. What the heck was he saying? Like we can go over there bc we are the varsity.
Smh...good lord its amazing how confident the last president has made ppl to make these kinds of ignorant statements.
I live in Michigan and their are guys calling in on the local sports radio shows literally saying this on the radio. Straight up saying nothing will happen because hes black because of the "climate". Makes my blood boil...
He should have been fired yet he receives a slap on the wrist. That speaks volumes for itself.
Nah, the more I looked at it the more I felt that a suspension was warranted. Mark Few gets a DUI and serves a one-game suspension. He was in the wrong; he needs to get help controlling his emotion, and none of this happens if Gard doesn't think he can just grab a grown man and get in his face like Howard was one of his players.
Oh their confident in what they say. Might not seem so because they dont put their actual name behind it but they are
I heard on sports radio last night that Howard was also fined $40k and Gard was fined $10k with no suspension.
Swinging and making contact in his position as a head coach does warrant automatic termination. He is getting a free pass just because of who he is.
People can make any excuse they want for him, but he is as guilty as OJ.
Howard was upset because Wisconsin called a timeout with 15 seconds left and a 15 point lead. Gard was upset because Howard was using a full-court press with 15 seconds left. Gard put his hand in Howard's chest to impede his walking past during the post-game handshake and Howard took offense. A petty squabble that led to dire consequences for Howard.
color should not matter. Wrong is wrong
one call always control their actions or deal with the consequences
Pete Golding comes to mind…
No it doesn't warrant automatic termination IMO. He is being suspended for the rest of the season which I think is more than fair. No one is arguing his innocence; we all saw the video so the whole OJ comparison makes zero sense.
Gard should have gotten 2 games for his role in starting that whole thing. Just fining him 10k is the real joke here.
You may be right. Just appears to me he gets a pass because of his Fab Five days. I would bet 8 of 10 anywhere else would have been fired. I think he has anger issues. Has happened too many times already.
It's happened one other time against Maryland and even then you heard the announcers say that this was uncharacteristic of Howard. He's always been a pretty easy-going guy, even when he played.
That said, this is his second altercation in two years. I don't think it has as much to do with him being a part of the Fab Five as it does that he was the AP Coach of the Year last year. If Michigan were looking to get rid of him, they would have used this to do it.
Personally I think he should be fired because nothing justifies him throwing a punch. If he is just suspended I believe one more behavioral problem of any magnitude will get him fired.
Real talk, the buyout added to his contract when he signed last year will have a bigger roll in it than anything. I don't see JH going anywhere anytime soon, but if Michigan set their sights on Oats and was willing to pay that buyout, I think Oats would take the job. Michigan basketball is just a better job and he's a mid-west guy anyway.
He punched the wrong coach in my opinion. Soon as the coach put his hands on him, he should of crushed him. Both should fined and suspended the same.
The guy made over $100,000,000 million dollars in his NBA career so a $40,000 fine is a drop in the bucket.
What he made in the NBA has no bearing on his fine and shouldn't have any bearing on it. Howard was fine 40k which is the largest fine in Big 10 history. Should they have fine him 400k because he has a net worth of 80 million? The fact that he is likely the most wealthiest coach in any sport has nothing to do with his job now as a CBB coach.
Agree that Michigan is a better job, which is why I don't even think Oats will be high on their list. I like Oats and still believe he is building something special here, but I don't think he's proven enough to warrant a job like Michigan. IMO if they were to fire Howard, and Oats ended up there, it would mean they swung and missed on a few other candidates.
Then you haven't been paying attention to white racists who shoot their mouths off, then dare call others racists for calling them out on their bullshit.
