Michigan Wolverines head coach Juwan Howard is attempting to keep the college basketball program at a near elite-level status. He's already done a decent job of that, providing a nice buzz around himself upon his hiring and staying active on the recruiting trail.

That being said, if you had one of the largest adjustments Howard would need to make being his ability to text, you win a prize. Since it is fictional in nature, you actually win zero dollars.

Congratulations.

“I knew you have to recruit, but all the work that comes behind the recruiting. Like I haven’t talked on the phone in years. What we all do now is just text, right? Or email,” Juwan Howard said via the AP. “I’ve been on the phone sometimes with recruits for like 30 minutes. … You’ve got to do a really good job with your text game, too. A lot of kids like to text.”

Entering the 2019-20 college basketball season, the new Michigan Wolverines coach also knows he will need to earn his players' trust, more so than the other way around.

“I don’t expect my players to trust me. I want to earn their trust,” Juwan Howard said. “I want them to know that I’m in their corner 110%, and that has to be proven by my actions, not just my words.”

Let's hope his texting actions speak louder than words, I guess?
