One thing we've seen from Howard since he took over as head coach -- he has little use for excuses. A lot of coaches and programs preemptively use finals week as an excuse/reason the team might not play that well, but not Howard. He says Michigan's student-athletes are "next level" when it comes to fulfilling both academic and athletic achievements, and he doesn't expect it to be a distraction for the Wolverines whatsoever.
