Michigan basketball coach Juwan Howard apologized on Monday night for his action in Sunday's postgame handshake after the loss at Wisconsin.
In a statement released by the university, Howard said he realizes "how unacceptable" his actions and words were.
He offered apologies to his team, their families, his staff, family and Michigan fans. He also apologized to Wisconsin assistant coach Joel Krabbenhoft and his family.
At the end of the 14-point loss, which included a late-game timeout by Wisconsin coach Greg Gard, Howard and Gard had a confrontation which to pushing a shoving from both teams.
