Juwan Howard on Ejection: 'When Guys Charge You, It's Time to Defend Yourself'
Michigan head basketball coach Juwan Howard explained what led to his ejection in the second half of his team's 79-66 win over Maryland in the Big Ten tournament quarterfinal Friday.
Speaking to reporters after the game, Howard explained that he was set off by a comment from Maryland head coach Mark Turgeon:
"(Mark) Turgeon saw that I was out of the box, he tells the referee to look at my feet, I’m out of the box, I’m like, come on man, this is what we’re doing today? You’re worried about my feet being out of the box? So he said to me, 'Juwan, I’m not gonna let you talk to me. You don’t talk to me ever again.' And he charged at me.
