Big changes are coming to Michigan basketball under a new guiding hand in Juwan Howard at head coach, who comes to Ann Arbor after having coached the last six seasons as an assistant in the NBA with the Miami Heat. We’re not quite sure what his teams will look like yet and how they will play, but he has been dropping bread crumbs here and there on some of his philosophies.
One of those philosophies is a modern “positionless basketball” look on the court. That’s where the NBA has been heading and has been for at least a few years and it’s one of the biggest changes that you’ll see on the floor with the Wolverines in the first year of the Howard era.
