Following a highly disappointing 8-24 season, the University of Michigan fired head men's basketball coach Juwan Howard on Friday, ending his five-year run at the helm.
Howard will be leaving the job with a $3 million buyout in his contract, per Ehsan Kassim of the Detroit Free Press.
Kassim noted Howard's buyout would have decreased by $1 million in each of the next two seasons, coming to the end of his five-year contract that was originally signed in 2019. The deal was agreed upon after the Wolverines were coming off a 30-win season and back-to-back appearances in the Sweet 16.
