Michigan men's basketball coach Juwan Howard suspended for rest of regular season after altercation at Wisconsin, sources say

Michigan coach Juwan Howard is being suspended five games -- the rest of the regular season -- for hitting Wisconsin assistant coach Joe Krabbenhoft in the face after Sunday's game, sources told ESPN on Monday.

An official announcement, as well as punishments for the other coaches and players involved in the postgame altercation, is expected Monday night. Hefty fines are expected to be part of the discipline.

In the final minute of Wisconsin's 77-63 win on Sunday, Badgers coach Greg Gard substituted his walk-ons into the game. Michigan, which still had its regulars on the floor, was pressing full-court, leading Gard to call a timeout to settle his team and give them a chance to cross halfcourt without turning the ball over.
