Juwan Howard had an inkling he wanted to coach way before earning his first win at Michigan last week.
"Back when I was playing for Portland before I signed with the Miami Heat, 2009, as a player under Nate McMillan, that was the time when I had conversations with Nate and Monty Williams, asking them questions about what it takes to be a coach," said Howard at Big Ten media day last month.
