The question seemed to take Juwan Howard by surprise.

Michigan basketball's coach was sitting at a podium in the media room at Crisler Center, shortly after the Wolverines' final home game of the season. Minutes before, he had stood near midcourt, handing a microphone to two of his players for their senior night speeches.
