This strikes me as unwritten rules gone wild. First, the unwritten rule that the Wisconsin Coach can't call timeouts in the final minute with a fifteen point lead to teach and coach in real time game situations even though the rule book says he can.
Secondly, the unwritten rule that Howard can't do a "blow by" in the handshake line and that the Michigan coach has the right to feel deservedly offended and put his arm out to physically stop him if he doesn't shake hands.
I know unwritten rules and traditions are like a Bible to some who have played, coached or religiously followed the game, but I've leaned more to writing rules down and putting them in the rule book if they are that important and not getting too offended about rules and traditions that aren't written in the rule book.

A talking head I heard was talking suspension through the league tournament. |

Not a basketball story. A reminiscence ---
200 years ago I was a HS JV football player. My position was CB/RB bench warmer. Actually, the sight lines were pretty good.
There was a dispute with the ref "Blind Bill." A volunteer assistant coach (6'+, 250lbs+) ran onto the field. He cold cocked the ref and knocked him out cold.
Our players celebrated, shouting "Oskie." We thought it was great. "Man. did you see that? Whoa! So, cool."
Never saw the assistant again. HC was called on the carpet.
After 3 concussions, on the advice of my family MD I had to turn in my cup.

I noticed Howard took his mask off prior to throwing the punch. Will this possibly result in a lifetime ban from college basketball?

After my early retirement all I had was my cup in hand. |

Death penalty.😊 I'm thinking both head coaches will be disciplined with the Wisconsin Coach who grabbed Howard getting a game or two and Juwan getting benched through the league tournament but being free to coach in the NCAA or NIT. |

The losing coach should signal the winning coach that hostilities are over for the afternoon and, at that point, the team in possession runs out the clock.
Otherwise, keep f*cking playing the game. Simple as that.

Simple as that. What if a bench player wants to shoot during his thirty second cup of coffee on the court? |

Howard got off easy - suspended for the rest of the regular season (five games) only, plus a $40,000 fine. Two Michigan players and one from Wisconsin suspended for one game. This is Strike Two on Howard. It's possible that one more incident will lead to his termination as coach. |

JMO, I think all games should end like that.
And then the press conferences afterwards could be one of those WWE type things where each coach paces back and forth while yelling and spitting into the camera as if he's speaking directly to the other guy while the SID holds the microphone.
"Where you gonna run, Howard? Where you gonna hide, Howard? Whatcha gonna do when the Gardinator comes after you?" (Gard flexes)

Just pump the SID with antibiotics and let the coaches rip.
