Reports cerficed earlier in the week that Juwan Howard and Strength and Conditioning Coach Jon Sanderson got into a verbal altercation recently. Howard apparently heard Sanderson call out his son Jace Howard for losing his cool to a trainer (he is dealing with a stress fracture). Sanderson and Howard apparently went face-to-face with Sanderson, according to Jeff Goodman:
“Jace Howard lost his cool on a trainer. John Sanderson heard it, and said something like, “That’s why the culture is what it is around here.” Juwan heard that, and then went nose-to-nose with Sanderson"@GoodmanHoops on the LATEST at Michigan:https://t.co/qQsDrKOlOT pic.twitter.com/MFoptsYx8s

We’ll see how it unfolds but Michigan plays Eastern Michigan on Saturday and Howard is already on a short leash following several altercations in the past and is also recovering from heart surgery.
