It looks like he tried to grab or slap him but still he should be suspended at least.

Howard had a closed fist when he was pulled away!
That was an ugly scene!
Yeah, it's definitely a punch. Even the nonsense that led up to the punch should be enough to get him punished, if not fired.
Embarrassing hire imo
The excuse he used during his interview was suspect at best: “somebody touched me!”
Yeah, right! He knows he’s in trouble and he’s trying to justify what he did. And, this is not his first rodeo. I read that he had to be pulled away from an altercation with Mark Turgeon not long ago. Turgeon is another hothead I should add!
I’m just like Juwan, your not gonna “son” me by grabbing me. If you grab me, expect to get grabbed.
I'm not excusing Howard's behavior......but the Wisconsin coach put his hands on Howard. I don't think anything would have happened if he had just walked through the handshake line.
JMO!

Why?
Didn't have any (i think) college coaching experience and at the time i thought there were better hires (i don't remember who). He also just swung on someone and is prolly going to get fired so.. think that was a good call by me IMO. Also going to make the tournament 1 out of 3 seasons..
Lol then you're a child
In the profession of Billy Gillespie and Rick Pitino getting hired multiple times I would indict Howard for swinging at a coach. I mean I know it’s a new era but Bobby Knight wasn’t an angel. Also in the profession where inexperienced coaches who started out as student managers get the nod over ex players, Howard is more than qualified.
Greg Gard his counterpart at Wisconsin was a baseball player at a D2 program…….. do you feel Gard, a baseball player isn’t qualified to coach basketball?
Niko Medved: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niko_Medved. Tennis player in college.
I’ll be one. No one is gonna grab on me and stsrt chastising me . Would you let me grab on you and start chastising you?
I tell you what, if I see you, let me grab you by the arm and tell you what you should and shouldn’t be upset about. Howard should have addressed Gard ad opposed to the assistant……
If I'm having a tantrum, yes
