Ben Howland Remains Interested In USC

We hear former UCLA coach Ben Howland has informed some influential (wealthy) USC donors that he is interested in the Trojans basketball job, which was then conveyed to the USC administration.

    • You’ve CERTAINLY hired WORSE in the past and you could do worse than Howland this time around. However….I understand your concern. SUCks “student” athletes are rarely properly desciplined for their dumb behavior and Ben is pretty much a “BY THE BOOK” kind of guy. CBH is probably toooo ethical for LIMBO U.
      fit on torgans…

      • 1. We’ve obviously hired worse. That doesn’t make him a great choice. That’s like saying, “our last coach was Karl Dorrell, Neuheisel is a fantastic choice!”.
        2. About the whole discipline thing – are you just going to ignore that whole Nelson Reeves thing?
        3. Discipline doesn’t necessarily equate to ethical behavior. Nazis were very disciplined.

  1. Take him, he’s all yours. He lost his L.A. mojo. Most high school coaches in the area are steering their players away from him. That should be a match made in heaven for a BB team that’s less relevant than the student body flash mob hacky sack team.

  2. Hey if Karreem doesn’t get the UCLA job maybe Haden will hire him instead.

  3. Slow, hard to watch basketball, timeouts after our own made baskets, running off a top recruit or two every year, surly disposition:
    Sign me up!

  4. Yeah then again i can’t wait for the ‘family feud’ when Jabbar -Alcindor’s request to be the bel-airians new men’s BB coach is denied then again maybe it will go the other way for an even bigger laugh.

    eight clap time – –
    clap clap clap clap
    clap clap clap clap

    You – clap clap clap clap
    Clowns – clap clap clap clap
    Lost – clap clap clap clap
    Again – clap clap clap clap

    You Clowns Lost A-gain gain gain gain! Go Kareem!

  5. The bRuins should go after bRuinRob! He just took his YMCA Boys Team (9years old and under) to the finals of the Boy’s Club Sandusky Tournament. Unfortunately, they were blown away.

  6. Howland would be perfect for USC, but I don’t have confidence that whoever is in charge of recruiting the BB coach is enlightened enough to hire him.

  7. Dear Pat Haden,

    Please just hire this guy so we all can move on. Howland makes the most sense unless you like being used as a pawn by hot coaches a other schools to get their AD to improve their contracts.

  8. This would be a BAD hire. If the SI article is true, he can’t recruit Southern Cali and why flush the BB program more into the toilet. I would prefer Floyd over Howland. I still say USC should make history by hiring Cheryl Miller.
