Juwan Howard on what transpired between him and Turgeon:
"I noticed Smith went for O-rebound and it went off his hands last. Not how I saw it. I went out of coaching box. Turgeon noted I was out, said, 'is that how it's going to be?'

Said Turgeon was charging at him and said he wasn't going to let him talk to him like that. Juwan said he defended himself.

Juwan: "I want to apologize to my team, which I did to my team in the locker room … love how our guys stepped up and supported their coach. Always take ownership when I'm wrong … not the right way to handle that situation."

Mark Turgeon on why things heated and that he reached out to the Big Ten after Michigan beat them in the regular season for who know what.
Turgeon on incident: "There's a rumor out there I said something about a banner. All I said was don't talk to me." Said "this has been going on for two games." References complaining to league offices prior to this game, presumably about Howard's talking to his players/bench.

Mark Turgeon said "this has been going on for three games." Doesn't say what it is. He said, "I said, 'Don't talk to me. Nothing about a banner.'"
