They’re likely headed to the NIT, so it’s all a bit moot.
I seem to recall Howard and Gard had some serious words courtside last year that resulted in another issued apology from Howard, so it appears that there is bad blood between them for whatever reason.
If Howard was furious about the late game time outs, he seems to forget that he implemented the same timeout strategy on a recent road win at Indiana.
In the end, I think he just can’t control his frustration that UM’s performance this year has failed to live up to the media’s pre-season hype. As an Illini fan, I’m obviously not losing any sleep over the team’s record, but I hope for the sake of the young men on the team, their leader can overcome his personal challenges.
