As a Purdue fan all I can say is thanks Michigan. You kick our ass in football and in the last three years basketball as well and now it's good to know we will have basketball supremacy against you once again.

Also, we tried the PC selection process as well with Darrell Hazell for our football coach from 2013 to 2016 and it was like a self imposed death penalty. He had a 9-33 overall record with a 3-24 Big Ten Conference record during that span. Left the place gutted. It's nice to have a quality coach now.

How did Purdue do tonight against the “politically correct” selection of Juwan Howard as Michigan’s coach?

Well, Purdue got their asses kicked 70-53 by Michigan. Basketball supremacy does not go along with white supremacy, I guess.

All Michigan athletics are shut down for two weeks due to Covid positives in the athletic department, so all you racists who predicted Juwan Howard would fail just based on his skin color get a 14 day reprieve from your (now) regular reminder that your racism makes you dumb(er).

13-1 and holding!

That was an impressive win by Michigan/Howard after being off for a couple of weeks. I'm sore and pissed though as I had Wisky in what I thought was a terrific situation for them. They couldn't buy a basket for most of the second half. Michigan's D clamped down on them.

I did 1st H and game, obviously disappointed in the second half collapse

Now if I was watching, I probably do Michigan in game ML when they were down big

That was the great bet I missed Wisky 1H. Should have done that at the least.

Juwan Howard’s team still #3 in the AP Poll. Only 2 coaches out of the 357 schools that play D1 basketball are ranked higher.

https://www.mlive.com/wolverines/20...g-of-juwan-howard-was-questioned-he-does.html

Here are the highlights for the haters who won't read the whole article.

When Juwan Howard was hired as Michigan’s men’s basketball coach in May of 2019, many questioned the decision.

Howard’s hire “raises all kinds of concerns and question marks,” read one article. Another called it “a huge risk.” A radio host said, “Hiring Juwan
Howard is nothing more than a PR stunt and an admission you couldn’t get a quality candidate.”


Halfway through his second season, Howard has Michigan ranked third nationally, on top of the Big Ten, with the country’s No. 1 recruiting class on the way.

Howard’s coaching acumen, in games and during practices, has proven to be exceptional. Just ask Michigan’s two senior transfers.
“We do every drill with a purpose,” Chaundee Brown said. “At other schools, coaches do drills just to buy time. Coach (Howard) has an explanation for every drill and why it can apply to ourselves or to the game.”

Purdue coach Matt Painter, 0-3 against Howard, said last month, “Juwan Howard has done an exceptional job. The culture he’s been in with the Miami Heat definitely comes out. You can see the discipline, the toughness, the execution. They run a lot of good stuff, man. They really put you in a bind.”

Looks like he is doing a pretty good job so far. He spent so much time in NBA with quality coaches like Riley and Spol that the X’s and O’s won’t be a problem.

Much rather see someone like him who can relate to the players and provide real knowledge than a recycled loser that many programs would hire.

Tell you what, I'm not betting against Michigan this year. It's either MI or pass

who in the hell made this dumb decision ? you're fucking Michigan... you can do better...

Michigan beats Rutgers 71-64. Juwan Howard moves them to 15-1.

I guess they could have done better by hiring a guy that would’ve gone 16-0?

Games against ranked opponents so far this year: 0
Games remaining against currently ranked opponents: 12

I know you're excited to own some righties, but maybe keep it in your pants for a little longer?

Michigan just beat #4 on the road. Another ranked opponent!

At least Michigan can beat Ohio State in something!


Maybe Howard should coach the football team too?
