Michigan assistant coach Mike Hart was carted off the field on a stretcher in the first half of the Wolverines’ game against Indiana.

Hart was awake and alert as he was carted off after an apparent medical episode. The Fox broadcast of the game said it was unaware of what specifically happened to Hart and the entire Michigan team gathered around him on the sideline as he was being tended to by training staff.

Hart appeared to want to wave to Indiana’s coaching staff as they walked to the cart as it drove off the field but one of the medical personnel tending to him wanted him to keep his arms crossed across his chest. Hart was taken to a hospital after he was transported off the field.
