What kind of precedence is there for a coach open hand slapping another coach? Anything particular to college basketball?
I have not followed college bball much lately but has Howard been good at Michigan? Because that's what this comes down to. If he has been winning and things are looking up he stays...if he has not been winning at the level people expect he will be gone.
Will be interesting to see what the Big 10 and Michigan imply the precedent for a coaching hitting an opposing coach SHOULD be. Is this the behavior of a "Michigan Man?" Is the behavior of a Leader and/or Legend? We'll see!

Anything particular to college basketball?I’m not sure I know of one. Pretty strange deal, kind of surprised to see it tbh. You see a ton of redass stuff like what led up to it but not sure I’ve seen a coach take a swing on another.
On February 13, 1994, Chaney threatened to kill then-University of Massachusetts Amherst coach John Calipari at a post-game news conference, where Calipari was speaking at a podium. Chaney entered the conference mid-speech, calling him an "Italian son-of-a-bitch," accusing Calipari of manipulating the referees. When Calipari attempted to respond to the accusations, Chaney yelled, "Shut up...!", and proceeded to charge the stage, before being stopped by security. While being held back, Chaney shouted, "When I see you, I'm gonna kick your ass!" As security restrained Chaney, he repeatedly yelled, "I'll kill you!" and angrily admitted telling his players to "knock your rough ridin' kids in the mouth."[6] Chaney received a one-game suspension for the incident.[7] The two coaches later reconciled. Chaney praised Calipari's coaching ability and defended him over the Derrick Rose controversy at the University of Memphis.[8]
The NFL and NCAA basketball isn’t exactly apples to apples. Again, if there is any precedent for this I haven’t seen or heard of it. Seems hard to make bold assertions with that being the case.
