Michigan's Juwan Howard out and about despite rumors

Michigan coach Juwan Howard attended a local children's hospital and was photographed at a high school basketball game on Tuesday as speculation continues to mount about his job status.

Howard and his team went to the C.S. Mott Children's Hospital before Howard went to watch five-star junior Trey McKenney alongside Michigan State coach Tom Izzo.

Last week, Howard was involved in an incident with strength and conditioning coach Jon Sanderson, sources told ESPN. No punches were thrown, according to multiple sources, but the two men needed to be separated.

The Athletic reported Wednesday that the university placed a zero-tolerance policy on Howard following his altercation with Wisconsin assistant coach Joe Krabbenhoft in 2022, when he hit Krabbenhoft in the face in the postgame handshake line, setting off a brawl involving coaches and players from both teams.
