Column: Juwan Howard got off to a great start, but the men’s basketball program needs a fresh start

The Juwan Howard era at Michigan is officially over. After five seasons serving as head coach of the men’s basketball team, the Michigan alum was fired after the Wolverines finished 8-24, setting a new program record for losses in a single season.

Howard got off to a really good start, winning the Battle 4 Atlantis in 2019 and guiding Michigan to an Elite Eight appearance in 2021 and a Sweet Sixteen in 2022. He was even named AP College Coach of the Year in 2021 and signed a five-year extension after that.
