A new video has come to light showing the moments leading up to the donnybrook between Michigan head coach Juwan Howard and Wisconsin’s Greg Gard.
The video can be seen below, but be warned: It’s unedited and profane.
It begins with a clearly upset Howard approaching Gard in the handshake line saying, “I’ll remember that s—.”
Gard then grabs Howard’s shirt, with Howard responding, “Don’t f—ing touch me!” multiple times. The audio then becomes inaudible as multiple staff members from both schools intervene.

A short while later, Howard can be seen throwing a punch at Badgers assistant Joe Krabbenhoft before chaos prevailed.
Gard said that Howard’s initial fury stemmed from Wisconsin’s late timeout with the game all but decided.
He added that he was just trying to get his team organized to break the press with 10 seconds to cross halfcourt. He said had he not called timeout, Wisconsin would have had only four seconds to get the ball across halfcourt to dribble out the clock.
