Another Juwan Howard handshake line video made the rounds on social media today. However, this time it’s because of the Michigan coach’s classy display of sportsmanship.
The 11-seed Michigan Wolverines upset No. 3 Tennessee in the Second Round of the 2022 NCAA Tournament on Saturday.
During the postgame handshake line, Howard consoled Tennessee guard Kennedy Chandler, who was clearly distraught because of the loss.
