Kevin Warren pays respect to Michigan assistant Mike Hart during B1G Basketball Media Day
Kevin Warren — Commissioner of the B1G — took a moment before the start of Wednesday’s B1G Basketball Media Days to send his thoughts and prayers to Michigan assistant coach Mike Hart.
“Even though this is Big Ten basketball media days, we’re all thinking of him…Coach Hart get well soon,” said Warren.
Hart had a very scary incident happen while he was coaching on the sidelines last week when Michigan was facing Indiana. According to reports, Hart passed out on the sideline and had a seizure.
Just before Kevin Warren introduces Juwan Howard, he sends his thoughts and prayers to Michigan football's RB coach Mike Hart from the conference.

Hart was then taken to a local hospital and later released. He released a statement thanking several people including the Indiana medical staff and the hospital for saving his life.
It was an incident that shook both sidelines Saturday but thanks to quick thinking and quick work, this incident didn’t turn into a tragedy.
Neither Hart nor the school has said when they expect Hart to return, but the good news is he will be back on the sideline eventually.
