Former Michigan basketball star Jalen Rose already endorsed Juwan Howard for the U-M head coaching job.

Another Fab Five member joined the chorus Friday night.

Chris Webber said he believes hiring Howard, who played alongside Webber and Rose at U-M from 1991-93, would "bring everyone back together."

Webber's comments came during the TNT broadcast of Game 2 between the Toronto Raptors and Milwaukee Bucks in the NBA's Eastern Conference Finals.

The Free Press reported Thursday that Howard is on athletic director Warde Manuel's interest list for Michigan's coaching vacancy.
