Yeah, I do get that. I have no issue with Gard being suspended but we all live in the real world. What Gard did wouldn't have made a single headline throughout the country. It was probably wrong but nowhere near outrageous. I'd guess if you walked by 90% of the verbal arguments in the country happening right now between any two people, there is a similar level of physicality. I'm not defending Gard, I dislike him and everything Bucky. However, Juwan Howard threw punches. That is THE line you never cross. Even in football where players constantly push people after the whistle, throwing a punch is a huge no.
I hate Wisconsin, I hope the NCAA puts WI basketball and football on 25 year sanctions.
I just know if I were the Michigan AD, I'd have a hard time keeping Howard. I don't think he'll be fired, but I think throwing a punch would be the end of his run if I were the AD.
