Listen, no one is predicting this Michigan basketball team will make it to the final four. It’s not realistic. With 20 to 25 wins, Juwan Howard will prove to the doubters that he is the right man for the job and that no one should ever use the excuse of ‘no head coaching experience’ as a reason to dismiss a head coaching candidate at a big-time program.
When you break down the current situation for Howard, that win total would be a massive success. Not only did this team lose three starters, but they also lost their top commit for this season and their head coach – the last loss of which came halfway through the offseason, effectively destroying any chance Howard had of landing a different top recruit.
