Michigan Wolverines head coach Jim Harbaugh has a lot going on in his life these days.
On one hand, the Wolverines are 10-0 and on the precipice of perhaps their first college football national championship since 1997.
On the other, Harbaugh just served the first of a three-game suspension handed down by the Big Ten for a covert sign-stealing operation by the Michigan program.
Harbaugh is set to appear in front a judge on Friday as the Wolverines attempt to get a temporary restraining order approved before Saturday’s game against Maryland.
Harbaugh said Monday that he’s unsure whether he’ll testify at the hearing.
“That’s not my dance floor,” he told reporters. “I’ve watched a lot of shows. I’ve watched Judge Judy a lot.”
And when Harbaugh says “a lot,” he means it.
Jim Harbaugh is not just a fan of Judge Judy.
Back in 2013, Harbaugh sat in the audience for a Judge Judy episode.

He and his legendary coaching father Jack Harbaugh even attended a taping of the show in 2013.
Harbaugh met the legendary TV judge and even referred to her as his “role model for truth-telling” at the time.
Apparently that’s still the case.
Whether or not it helps him in actual court room setting remains to be seen. But it’s clear he’s a daytime TV vet. So he’s basically just like you and me.
