That’s really in Howard’s favor. He says something like I’ll remember that **** (not exact but sounds like it) and the other coach grabs him and yanks him and gets in his path. Howard was trying to walk by and say his piece but keep moving. Howard then says repeatedly don’t touch me and the other coach stays blocking his path.
Howard should not have reached. But this isn’t nearly as one sided as it’s being made.
Yeah I'm trying to see where the other coach "grabs him and yanks him" and I don't see that at all. I do agree he stepped in front of him.
Howard did address the coach first, and then the other coach stepped in front of him to reply. He did get close to him. I don't see him "yanking him." I do see Howard waving his finger at the other coach as well. Both seem kind of belligerent, but it's also a loud and heated atmosphere.
Honestly I think if it was left at that confrontation, you would just chalk it up as both guys were heated, it was an intense conference rivalry game, and sports get emotional sometimes. We've all been there and I think most would be inclined to let it go on both sides.
But what escalated the situation to a dangerous and truly unsportsmanlike situation was Howard putting hands on the other guy in an unmistakeably hostile manner. That was a leap over the line of what's acceptable, so in that sense, it was pretty one sided.
Howard is the reason this situation got out of control, and he put his entire team in a bad situation.
That's just poor leadership. He might be a great Xs and Os guy for all I know, but head coach is at its core a leadership position.
How do you miss it? Dude clearly stops Howard by grabbing his right elbow and then grabs his wrist/hand when Howard tries to step around him.
