INDIANAPOLIS — The longest tenured staff member in the Michigan basketball program has left for good.

Jon Sanderson, the strength and conditioning coach for the Wolverines’ men’s hoops team dating to 2009 and the early John Beilein days, is no longer with the program or the university, associate athletic director Kurt Svoboda confirmed to the Free Press on Friday.

“Jon Sanderson has resigned his position with the University of Michigan Athletic Department, effective March 1,” Svoboda’s said. “We appreciate Jon’s contributions over the years and wish him the best going forward.”

Sanderson and head coach Juwan Howard were involved in a dispute during a December practice and had to be separated. Howard’s son, Jace, a senior forward, said the two men had a “misunderstanding.”

Sanderson has since been away from the program. Michigan is last in the 14-team Big Ten Conference with a 3-15 record and 8-21 mark overall. No other team has fewer than seven conference wins.

This is a breaking news story and will be updated.
