Our assumption is that the episode yesterday will furnish our mentors and understudy competitors with the valuable chance to reflect, learn and push ahead in a way that shows etiquette and authority on and off of the court."

Phil Martelli will fill in as Michigan's break mentor in Howard's nonappearance.

The fight started in the postgame handshake line, when Gard snatched Howard by the arm trying to clarify why he called the break. Howard hollered "Don't (swearword) contact me!" and put his right pointer in Gard's face as the two contended.

"By then, I felt the time had come to safeguard myself," said Howard, a previous NBA player and the ruling Associated Press men's mentor of the year.

That allows my players the best opportunity to have achievement. So that is the place where it began. He said, 'I'll recollect that. I'll recollect that.' I said, 'Hello, let me explain to you why I did.' He didn't need any piece of that."

"There's no room, no space for lead like that in any contest, significantly less a Big Ten rivalry," McIntosh said. "The Big Ten invests heavily in sportsmanship. The Big Ten invests heavily in acting with class. That didn't occur today."

Michigan athletic chief Warde Manuel gave an assertion saying that he had apologized to McIntosh and that Michigan President Mary Sue Coleman had reached Wisconsin Chancellor Rebecca Blank "to apologize for the absolutely unsatisfactory conduct."

"There is not a remotely good reason for any of our staff or understudy competitors to get into an actual quarrel with others paying little heed to inciting factors," Manuel said.

This isn't Howard's first high-profile occurrence with another Big Ten mentor.
