Former Michigan Wolverines men's head basketball coach Juwan Howard opened up about his firing, health issues and a number of other topics during a wide-ranging interview with Brendan Quinn of The Athletic that was published Thursday.
Michigan's season was a failure and ended with an 8-24 overall record and 3-17 mark in Big Ten play. The team came nowhere near reaching the NCAA tournament, and Howard was fired after two consecutive absences from the Big Dance.
However, he was also dealing with serious health issues throughout the campaign.
A CT scan revealed he had blood clots, while an MRI showed an unruptured aneurysm in his aorta in addition to blood clots in his lungs.
