Title: Reminder on Howland
Post by: GoldenWarrior on March 28, 2014, 11:54:10 AM
Given Shaka is apparently not happening, it seems like most everyone wants to hire Ben Howland. I don't think I've seen anyone mention the mess he got into at UCLA yet though:

Am I the only one that remembers this, or worries about it? I think he should be a candidate, but I'd think twice and make sure he's figured out that these kids need guidance on and off the court.

You're not, it's been posted here about a dozen times.

This has been mentioned many times over the last few days.  But I think its important he seems pretty sleazy.

It's about time someone started a new UCLA/Howland thread and posted this for the 11th time.

This article has been posted plenty. I had doubts at first too but the article has been rebutted plenty. He's my choice for our next target.

Who cares, almost all coaches are jerks. Is he a winner is all that matters!
