Michigan AD Warde Manuel gives Juwan Howard a second vote of confidence

The Michigan Wolverines’ basketball team currently sits in last place in the Big Ten at 8-17 overall and 3-11 in conference play. That’s all thanks to being last in the conference in points allowed (79.1 per game), scoring margin (-3.4) and turnover margin (-2.84), as well as the second-worst three-point field goal percentage (36.2 percent).

Despite one of the worst seasons in recent history, athletic director Warde Manuel is staying patient with head coach Juwan Howard, doubling down on his support during a Zoom press conference.

“I have not really thought about any changes in in our men’s basketball program at this time,” Manuel said.
