As Juwan Howard sat down to interview for the head coaching position for Michigan basketball, many didn’t want him back in Ann Arbor. The uniformed public bashed him for his relationship to those whose actions led to sanctions and the removal of banners, while others indicated he wasn’t ready as he hadn’t been a head coach before.
Howard had extensive experience as an assistant, however, and it was under a few of the best to ever coach a game. That didn’t matter, without knowing the convoluted NCAA rules and regulations, Juwan would never survive – at least that’s what came from the mouths of the naysayers.
