Juwan Howard later came out with a full statement on his own.
"After taking time to reflect on all that happened, I realize how unacceptable both my actions and words were, and how they affected so many. I am truly sorry," part of his statement said. "Lastly, I speak a lot about being a Michigan man and representing the University of Michigan with class and pride, I did not do that, nor did I set the right example in the right way for my student-athletes. I will learn from my mistake and this mistake will never happen again. No excuses!"
Howard says he will give a personal apology to assistant coach Joe Krabbenhoft.
In the meantime, associate head coach Phil Martelli will take over head coaching duties.
