The Michigan basketball team will be without head coach Juwan Howard for the remainder of the regular season after Sunday’s melee at Wisconsin.
Howard has been suspended for the Wolverines’ last five regular season games and will be fined $40,000, the Big Ten announced Monday evening.
The conference said it reviewed footage of Sunday's altercation and determined that there was "a clear violation of the Big Ten Conference’s Sportsmanship Policy" by both Howard and Wisconsin head coach Greg Gard.

Michigan Athletic Director Warde Manuel "proactively addressed a five-game suspension" for Howard, and the conference reached alignment on Howard’s disciplinary action, the Big Ten said.
He would be eligible to coach the team in the Big Ten Tournament and any other postseason events, should Michigan make the NCAA Tournament or NIT.
Associate head coach Phil Martelli will assume head coaching duties during Howard's absence, the school announced.
Michigan will also be without two players -- Moussa Diabate and Terrance Williams -- for Wednesday's home game against Rutgers. Both players were seen throwing punches during the altercation.
Gard has been fined $10,000, while player Jahcobi Neath was suspended one game.
Howard issued an apology via a letter Monday night:
"After taking time to reflect on all that happened, I realize how unacceptable both my actions and words were, and how they affected so many. I am truly sorry."
"I am offering my sincerest apology to my players and their families, my staff, my family and the Michigan fans around the world. I would like to personally apologize to Wisconsin's Assistant Coach Joe Krabbenhoft and his family, too."
"Lastly, I speak a lot about being a Michigan man and representing the University of Michigan with class and pride, I did not do that, nor did I set the right example in the right way for my student-athletes. I will learn from my mistake and this mistake will never happen again. No excuses!""Many members of the bench area for both teams, including assistant coaches, did not represent the level of sportsmanship that is expected from the Big Ten Conference and its member institutions," the conference said.
The college basketball world was set on fire Sunday afternoon after Howard struck Wisconsin assistant coach Joe Krabbenhoft in the head after tempers boiled over in the postgame handshake line.
Michigan fell to 14-11 on the season after the 77-63 loss in Madison that saw a heated exchange between Howard and Badgers coach Greg Gard, who had called a timeout with just 15 seconds remaining as Howard continued to run a full-court press with the Badgers’ backups in the game in the waning seconds.
