Clearly whatever plan they had for him to learn how control his on-court temper after his outburst vs. Maryland last March has failed.
Passion for your team and players is good, but that can't happen.
He shouldn't be allowed back on the court until he can somehow prove these kinds of outbursts will never happen again. If they can't figure it out ... then he needs to be fired. The whole "I'm from Chicago and I fight when I'm challenged" can't be a thing for one second longer.
I am not a lawyer, but I can play one on mibuzzboard. I do know that UM is governed by the Board of Regents. From what I've read, there are eight members and several are attorneys, supposedly two are very capable personal injury attorneys. Correct me if I'm wrong here, Matt, MW, or others.
My point is they have a university employee who has shown two public episodes of violent behavior. The second episode was a physical assault. Clearly there is a pattern. He cannot control himself. The Board of Regents know that if a third episode occurs, and God forbid there is a serious injury, there will be litigation and the university would certainly be liable.
Seems to me there is just cause that he be terminated.

It looked to me like Howard grabbed somebody by the shirt before he threw the punch. I did not see the Wisconsin folks do much of anything.
Just for sake of accuracy he didn't throw a punch. He slapped him open handed on top of the head.
Not that I'm justifying it. I'd be a okay with him getting fired.
After reading the Bacon blog I would be fine with a suspension for the rest of the year, some sort of anger management punishment. Although I don't know how well those work.
And a three strikes and your out stipulation with smarter heads than me clearly defining a strike which doesn't have to be a literal physical strike.
As I said above if they fired him I'd be OK with that.
Gard didn't touch Howard in any aggressive way, but merely grabbed his elbow as Howard was walking past. Howard could have continued to walk past without saying a word and just shrugged it off, but, obviously he wasn't capable of that.
