Self-critical Juwan Howard shares improvements he wants after exhibition win

Friday night was a homecoming of sorts, albeit unofficially, for Michigan’s first-year men’s basketball head coach Juwan Howard, who was once a star in his own right as a player in Ann Arbor.

In his current role at the helm of a new era of Wolverine basketball, his team opened up its 2019-20 campaign with a 82-51 exhibition victory over Saginaw Valley State. However, it wasn’t all warm and fuzzy feelings and a guy on the sidelines getting nostalgic.

Howard was asked after the game if he took a second to soak in coaching his alma mater.
