In 2022, University of Michigan head basketball Coach Juwan Howard reached across two assistant coaches that were holding him back and hit Krabbenhoft in the head following the February 20 game between the Michigan Wolverines and No. 15 Wisconsin Badgers at the Kohl Center. With 22 seconds left in the game and Wisconsin's 3rd string players on the floor Howard continued to instruct his players to press full court, forcing an out of bounds in the back court with 4 seconds left on the 10 second clock. In order to reset the 10 second clock and his press break, Wisconsin Coach Greg Gard took a timeout and coached up his walk on players - instructing them to dribble out the clock once over the half court line, solidifying a 77-63 win.
During the handshakes between the team, Michigan coach Juwan Howard expressed his displeasure with the timeouts and then attempted to walk past, refusing to shake Gard's hand. Gard grabbed Howard in an attempt to explain the timeout. Howard responded by grabbing Gard's shirt and pointing his finger in Gard's face, shouting "Don't F'ing touch me". Asst. Coaches, Players and Law Enforcement stepped in to separate the coaches. Through the pushing and shoving things continued to escalate, and Howard reached across 2 Asst. Coaches, hitting Krabbenhoft with an open hand in the head. This led to both teams fighting each other. While most of the fight was pushing and shoving, at least three players threw punches; forward Moussa Diabaté for Michigan who was a starter for the game, forward Terrance Williams II for Michigan, and guard Jahcobi Neath for Wisconsin. The actions of both coaches and the players were condemned, which Howard receiving the majority for his physical contact against Krabbenhoft. The Big Ten Conference released a statement that they were reviewing the postgame events. The following day, Howard was fined $40,000 and Gard $10,000 for violating the Big Ten's sportsmanship policy. Howard was also suspended for the remainder of Michigan's season for his conduct (5 games). Diabate, Williams II, and Neath were each suspended one game. Krabbenhoft was not penalized for the event.
