Michigan basketball coach Juwan Howard won't be on the sidelines for a while.
Howard has been suspended for the rest of the regular season, two sources confirmed the Free Press on Monday night.
Minutes after the news broke, the Big Ten announced that Howard's suspension was addressed by Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel and that the conference "reached alignment" with the discipline.
The conference also announced that Howard has been fined $40,000.
“Big Ten Conference coaches and student-athletes are expected to display the highest level of sportsmanship conduct,” conference commissioner Kevin Warren said in the released statement.
