Sunday afternoon's fracas wasn't the first altercation between Howard and another head coach.

Howard took off his mask while approaching Gard and shared his displeasure with the late timeout. "I think that was very uncalled for for him to touch me as we were communicating with one another. "I addressed with the head coach that I will remember that, because of that timeout," he said.
