University of Michigan Coach Juwan Howard has rebuffed advances for vacant NBA coaching roles, despite rumors he was on a Portland Trail Blazers wishlist, reports ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Sources: Michigan’s Juwan Howard continues to tell NBA teams he's not interested in even a discussion on leaving Ann Arbor. Teams are also calling to gather intel on Memphis coach Penny Hardaway's work. He's going to get offers to interview for openings in this NBA job cycle.

Wojnarowski initially reported that Howard was a target for the Blazers an hour after Terry Stotts departed the role last week.
