'Who wouldn’t be happy about that?' UM players embrace the arrival of Juwan Howard

Ann Arbor — Some people scratched their heads and others nodded in approval when Juward Howard was named Michigan’s new head basketball coach.

Junior forward Isaiah Livers, on the other hand, literally jumped up and down when he heard the news.

“I almost hit my head on the top of the living room,” Livers said Thursday, the day Howard was officially introduced. “I was like, ‘Juwan Howard! Ex-Fab Five, played in the NBA, was an NBA coach?’ Who wouldn’t be happy about that? I met him already before, so I already knew what type of guy he was, so I was just super stoked.
