Michigan's longtime strength coach resigns from position after reportedly reaching settlement

Jon Sanderson, the longtime strength and conditioning coach for Michigan's men's basketball team, resigned from his position Friday after 15 years with the program.

The decision comes two months after Sanderson stopped working with the team.

According to The Athletic, Sanderson and the university reached a settlement upon his resignation — one that includes a non-disclosure clause.

Sanderson's departure comes nearly three months after he got into a confrontation with Michigan head coach Juwan Howard, which ended his time working with the men's team. Since the Dec. 7 incident, Sanderson has primarily worked with the school's Olympic sports teams.
