Ben Howland
He has coached several Division I NCAA basketball teams
At Pittsburgh, Howland continued to build his reputation as a top-tier coach. From 1999 to 2003, he led the Panthers to multiple NCAA tournament appearances, including a Sweet 16 run in 2002. His ability to develop players and implement a strong defensive system made him one of the most sought-after coaches in the country. In 2002, Howland was named the Naismith College Coach of the Year, a testament to his impact on the program and his growing influence in college basketball.
Howland's most notable coaching stint came at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), where he served as head coach from 2003 to 2013. During his time at UCLA, Howland led the Bruins to three consecutive Final Four appearances from 2006 to 2008, solidifying his legacy as one of the top coaches in the nation. Despite his success, Howland was controversially fired in 2013 after winning an outright Pac-12 Conference title, making him the first coach in modern college basketball history to be dismissed under such circumstances.
After a brief hiatus, Howland returned to coaching in 2015, taking over the men's basketball program at Mississippi State University. He remained with the Bulldogs until 2022, guiding the team to multiple postseason appearances and continuing to demonstrate his coaching prowess. Throughout his career, Howland has been known for his emphasis on defense, player development, and his ability to build winning programs at every stop.
