The Michigan Wolverines introduced Friday that head professor Juwan Howard gained’t go back for the 2024-25 college basketball season.
“After a comprehensive review of the program, I have decided that Juwan will not return as our men’s basketball coach,” College of Michigan’s Donald R. Shepherd Director of Athletics Warde Manuel said in a statement. “Juwan is among the greatest Wolverines to ever be associated with our basketball program. I know how much it meant, to not only Juwan, but to all of us for him to return here to lead this program.Â
“In spite of his love of his alma mater and the certain revel in that our student-athletes had underneath his management, it was once unclouded to me that this system was once no longer dwelling as much as our expectancies and no longer trending within the correct course. I’m grateful for Juwan’s determination, hobby and constancy to U-M and for all that he, and his legacy, will proceed to ruthless to Michigan.”
Michigan was once eradicated on Age 1 of the Big Ten Match by way of Penn State, capping off an 8-24 (3-17 in Big Ten play) season that saw it finish last in the conference. It will be the second consecutive season that Michigan missed the NCAA Tournament.
The Wolverines went a combined 87-72 under Howard from 2019-24. They reached the NCAA Tournament twice, making two Sweet 16s and one Elite 8.
Howard played for Michigan and was part of its iconic “Fab 5.” Two of Howard’s sons, Jett and Jace, performed for him at Michigan.
