Heading into his second year as head coach of the West Liberty University men’s basketball team, Ben Howlett is coming off one of the most impressive debut seasons in the nation. The former Hilltopper standout was honored as the Mountain East Conference Coach of the Year after leading West Liberty to a 26-4 season that included its eighth conference championship in the past nine seasons and a ninth consecutive NCAA Division II Tournament berth.
