The Big Ten also suspends three players one game each and fines Wisconsin coach Greg Gard for their roles in the altercation following the Badgers’ 77-63 win on Sunday.

“Big Ten Conference coaches and student-athletes are expected to display the highest level of sportsmanship conduct,” Big Ten commissioner Kevin Warren said in a statement. “I am grateful for the partnership with Michigan Athletics Director, Warde Manuel and Wisconsin Athletics Director, Chris McIntosh.
“At that point, I felt it was time to protect myself,” said Howard, a former NBA player and the reigning Associated Press men’s coach of the year. Gard said he took the timeout because his backup players had four seconds to get the ball across midcourt and he wanted to reset the clock to 10 seconds. Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel issued a statement on Sunday saying that he had apologized to McIntosh and that Michigan president Mary Sue Coleman had contacted Wisconsin chancellor Rebecca Blank “to apologize for the totally unacceptable behavior.”
