UCLA Fires Ben Howland

[Built Ford Tough]

 

Five years after he led UCLA to its third consecutive Final Four, Ben Howland's tenure in Westwood has come to an end.

 

Howland has been notified that he is being fired, two sources confirmed to Yahoo! Sports on Saturday afternoon. An official announcement from UCLA is expected to come within the next 48 hours. 

 

"He had an amazing turnaround this season, but he knew he was going to be fired a long time ago," a source close to Howland said.

 

Second-year assistant coach Korey McCray will at least temporarily remain on staff and run the program during the coaching search, a source said. McCray was instrumental in the recruitment of freshmen Tony Parker, Kyle Anderson and Jordan Adams, all of whom UCLA would surely like to have remain in the program under the new coach.

 

Howland's firing comes on the heels of a season in which UCLA won the Pac-12 regular season title but fell 83-63 to 11th-seeded Minnesota on Friday night in the second round of the NCAA tournament. It was the fifth consecutive season the Bruins have not advanced past the NCAA tournament's opening weekend.

 

Hired in 2003 to bring discipline and defensive principles to a UCLA program lacking in both those areas under predecessor Steve Lavin, Howland enjoyed tremendous success during the first half of his tenure. His blue-collar, defensive-minded teams lost to national champion Florida in the 2006 national title game and the 2007 Final Four and to Memphis in the 2008 Final Four.

 

 What led to the downturn in the program were a series of recruiting missteps and transfers.

 

 Future all-Mountain West players Chace Stanback, Mike Moser and Drew Gordon were among the players who transferred out of the program. Howland also struggled to land the top Los Angeles players he had previously, instead resorting to taking a pair of junior college prospects and three castoffs from North Carolina and hiring the head of an Atlanta-based AAU program to try to help him bring in out-of-state talent.

I wonder if this was decided on already and they were just waiting until after the season to announce it or if Howland could've saved his job somehow. If the latter, I wonder where he would've had to led the Bruins to in order to save his job? Elite Eight?

 

Anyways, this doesn't surprise me at all. With all the talk for the past year, anything short of a National Championship probably wouldn't be enough for Howland to stick around. It was clear that UCLA wanted to go in a different direction and this firing was inevitable.

 

Any predictions on who replaces him?

'Bout time.

Shaka Smart, and I hope they get him.

Total buyout for Ben Howland is $3.5 million. He gets $2.3 million and then $300,000 the next four years. He had five years left. Not bad.

 

Can I get fired by UCLA, please? I'll be generouns and just take the $300K a year for 4 years and leave the $2.3M.
