Juwan Antonio Howard (born February 7, 1973) is an American former professional basketball<\/a> player and current head coach of the Michigan Wolverines men’s team<\/a>.<\/sup> He was an assistant coach for the Miami Heat<\/a> of the National Basketball Association<\/a> (NBA) from 2013 to 2019. Howard played in the NBA from 1994 until 2013.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A one-time All-Star<\/a> and one-time All-NBA<\/a> power forward<\/a>, he began his NBA career as the fifth overall pick in the 1994 NBA draft<\/a>, selected by the Washington Bullets<\/a>. Before he was drafted, he starred as an All-American<\/a> on the Michigan Wolverines men’s basketball team<\/a>. At Michigan he was part of the Fab Five<\/a> recruiting class of 1991 that reached the finals of the NCAA Tournament<\/a> in 1992<\/a> and 1993<\/a>. Howard won two NBA championships with Miami, in 2012<\/a> and 2013<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Howard was an All-American center<\/a> and an honors student<\/a> at Chicago Vocational Career Academy<\/a>. Michigan was able to sign him early over numerous competing offers and then convince others in his recruiting class to join him. The Fab Five, which included Chris Webber<\/a>, Jalen Rose<\/a>, Jimmy King<\/a> and Ray Jackson<\/a>, served as regular starters<\/a> during their freshman and sophomore years for the 1991\u201392<\/a> and 1992\u201393 Wolverines<\/a>. Howard was the last member of the Fab Five to remain active as a professional basketball player. Although many of the Wolverines’ accomplishments of the 1990s were vacated due to NCAA rules violations<\/a> committed by four members of the program, Howard was not personally implicated in the scandal and his 1993\u201394 All-American<\/a> season continues to be recognized.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Howard played seven seasons (1994\u20132001) for the Washington Bullets franchise (renamed the Wizards in 1997), three seasons (2004\u201307) for the Houston Rockets<\/a>, three seasons for the Heat, and shorter stints for several other teams. During his rookie year with the Bullets, he became the first player to graduate on time<\/a> with his class after leaving college early to play in the NBA. After one season as an All-Rookie<\/a> player and a second as an All-Star and an All-NBA performer, he became the first NBA player to sign a $100\u00a0million contract. While he continued to be a productive starter, he was never again selected to play in an All-Star Game. Towards the end of his contract, he was traded at the NBA trade deadline twice to make salary cap<\/a> room. He was most recently a regular starter during the 2005\u201306 NBA season<\/a>. In 2010, he signed with the Heat and went on to make his first career NBA Finals<\/a> appearance. He remained with the Heat the following season and won his first NBA championship during the 2012 NBA Finals. He returned to the Heat for part of the following season, and won a second championship. After retiring as a player in 2013, he remained with the Heat organization as an assistant coach for the next six seasons, before accepting the head coaching position at Michigan.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Howard earned numerous awards for his performance as a coach in the 2020-21 season, during which he led the Wolverines to the Big Ten championship<\/sup>. He has developed a reputation as a humanitarian for his civic commitment.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On May 22, 2019, Howard was named Men’s Basketball Head Coach of the Michigan Wolverines men’s basketball<\/a> team, signing a five-year contract. In 2021<\/a>, after guiding the Wolverines to a 14\u20133 Big Ten record and their first Big Ten regular season title in seven years, Howard was named the Big Ten Conference Coach of the Year<\/a> and National Coach of the Year by Sporting News<\/a>.<\/i> and awarded the Henry Iba Award<\/a> by the USBWA<\/a>.<\/sup> Michigan was named a No. 1 seed in the 2021 NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Tournament<\/a>, making Howard the first person in NCAA history to enter the tournament as a No. 1 seed as both a player and a coach.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Philanthropy<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

As a student athlete at the University of Michigan, Howard volunteered to visit patients at the University of Michigan Health System Hospitals<\/a> in Ann Arbor, Michigan.<\/sup> While juggling professional basketball duties and coursework as an NBA rookie\/student-athlete, he continued to find time for charity work and hospital visits. His humanitarian works included a Stay in School Jam for 6,500 local area students that he participated in along with several teammates and R&B artist Usher<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Howard is active in fostering youth basketball activities through the Juwan Howard Foundation, which helps underprivileged youth in Washington, D.C. and Chicago. He was recognized in 2001 as one of the “Good Guys in Sports” by The Sporting News<\/a><\/i> for his civic contributions.<\/sup> In April 2010, Howard won the NBA Cares Community Assist Award for his community efforts, philanthropic work and charitable contributions. He runs a yearly free basketball camp for youth, which is made possible by a partnership between the Juwan Howard Foundation and the Chicago Public Schools<\/a> (CPS), Jordan Brand, Dell Computers<\/a>, EMI Music<\/a>, Vitamin Water<\/a> and the NBA. His foundation partners with the CPS for a reading challenge; the top 300 readers, out of 30,000 annually, attend his camp. During and after his time as a member of the Heat, Howard was active in South Florida community outreach, fundraising and humanitarian efforts.<\/strong><\/p>\n
