The Trap's Initial '10-'11 Top 10.

Why not get out while you can? Howland's an excellent coach. Nobody lasts long at UCLA post Wooden. It's the nature of the beast.

He is a great coach. The problem is his style of coaching. Its a slow boring style and its really hard to convince big time recruits to come play that type of basketball. Nature of the beast currently.

Didn't seem to hurt him much during 3 straight final four runs. Several of those players are all in the league right now. The early departures of key guards set the stone rolling in terms of bad recruiting luck, and it just hasn't stopped.

True. A lot of people dont understand that UCLA really doesnt support their basketball team as well as some perceive. They have all that history but have average attendance and support. A lot of kids want to go somewhere they get to be the star as well as a player. Howland did a good job with that team filing roles too. Lots of his players are in the league and are big time contributors to their respective teams.
 
If Pearl ended up fired for the sanctions, I wonder if Howland would be interested in the UT job at all? I think he would do really, really well here.

If not for an 11 year stretch, UCLA's hoops history is on par with Arkansas, Arizona, Syracuse, and many other programs with only 1 national title. Their fan support is horrible, considering the program.

Hypothetical here, but any chance Tennessee can get Howland if they have to get rid of Pearl?
