While Phil Martelli said he wasn’t sure what caused Howard’s ejection, take a look at what one fan heard on TV from Mark Turgeon:
You can hear Turgeon on TV telling him "don't hang the banner because your banners come down."

Turgeon says not true he was just mad about the first two games with Michigan:
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.

Howard:
"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.
