Page 2 2005-06 UCLA Men’s Basketball Head Coach Ben Howland Head Coach Ben Howland  ird Season • Weber State ’79 Ben Howland knows how to rebuild a men’s collegiate basketball program. He did it at Northern Arizona and again at Pittsburgh. And Howland’s doing it at UCLA. A er a two-year hiatus, he led the Bruins back to the NCAA Tournament in 2005 and joined an elite list of college coaches who have led three teams to the “Big Dance” - 2005 UCLA, 2003 Pittsburgh (“Sweet 16”), 2002 Pittsburgh (“Sweet 16”) and 1998 Northern Arizona. Following the 2005 NCAA Tournament, there were only 28 coaches in Tournament history that had guided three di7 erent schools to the “Big Dance”. Howland’s sound philosophies about coaching and recruiting have the Bruins pointed in a winning direction as Howland enters his third season as UCLA’s head coach. Howland and his talented sta7 in 2004 re- cruited the nation’s No. 4 (HoopMasters.com) incoming freshman class - led by McDonald’s All-Americans, 6-2 and 6-5 Arron A; alo, along with Parade Magazine All-American 6-5 and CalHi Sports All-State 6-8 Lorenzo Mata. < e 2005 class features = ve of high school basketball’s top seniors, considered to be among the best 100 players in North America - 6-8 (Tilton, NH Prep Academy), 6-0 (Etiwanda HS/Rancho Cucamonga, CA), 6-7 Luc Richard Mbah a Moute (Montverde, FL Academy), 6-5 Michael Roll (Aliso Niguel HS/Aliso Viejo, CA) and 6-8 Ryan Wright (Loyola Catholic HS/Mississauga, Ontario, Canada). It takes time and hard work to rebuild a program and there’s not a collegiate head coach or sta7 in the U. S. that works harder than Howland and his Bruin assistants. At UCLA, in just his second season (2005), Howland led the Bruins to a third-place = nish in the Pac-10 and back to the NCAA Tournament. At Pittsburgh, he took over a losing program and by his third year (2002), the Panthers were in the NCAA “Sweet 16” and Howland was the consensus National Coach of the Year. In his fourth season (1998) at Northern Arizona, Howland led the Lumberjacks to their = rst-ever NCAA Tournament appearance. “It’s nice to be recognized, but you can never rest on what you’ve done,” Howland said. “You have to keep working, keep pushing to get better. You’ve got to have good players. No one understands that more than me. I hope to think every year I’m a better coach than I was the year before. You hope to always improve.” UCLA Athletic Director Dan Guerrero knew he had hired a proven winner on April 3, 2003, when How- land was announced as the Bruins’ 12th head coach in the 86-year history of UCLA men’s basketball. “Ben Howland is an outstanding basketball coach, one of the best in the entire country and he is the man we want to run our program,” Guerrero said. “He has built winning programs throughout his career and we expect that he will return UCLA basketball to the nation’s elite. Ben understands that championships are built on defense, intensity, team-work and fundamentals, and those ele- ments are the foundation of his philosophy. His teams come to play every night and they do an outstanding job on both ends of the I oor.”

In 2002-03, Howland led the Panthers to a record of 28-5 and a No. 4 ranking on the = nal AP poll (Pitt held the nation’s No. 2 ranking for eight polls during the season). Pittsburgh earned a second straight trip to the NCAA “Sweet 16”, won a second straight Big East West regular-season championship and on March 15, defeated Connecticut to win its = rst-ever Big East Tournament title. < e Panthers entered their NCAA “Sweet 16” game against Marquette with an 11-game winning streak.

In 2001-02, Howland guided Pittsburgh to a school-record 29 wins, surpassing the former school record of 25 victories set in 1973-74.

He led the Panthers to the Big East West regular season championship - the  rst time Pittsburgh won a Big East men’s basketball title of any kind since the 1987-88 campaign. Howland then led the Panthers to their  rst NCAA tournament appearance in nine seasons (1992-93). Howland also became the  rst Pitts- burgh coach since Charles “Buzz” Ridl in 1973-74 to lead the Panthers to an NCAA “Sweet 16” appearance, with two NCAA Tournament victories over Central Con- necticut State and California in 2002. Including the two NCAA Tournament wins, Pittsburgh went 11-2 over its last 13 games with its only losses coming on a double overtime defeat in the Big East On Sept. 25, 2004, Howland’s 1998 Lumberjack squad was inducted into the Championship title game and an overtime Northern Arizona Athletics Hall of Fame. loss to Kent State in the NCAA “Sweet 16”. Under Howland’s direction, Knight earned All-America honors along with USBWA District 1 Player of the Year and co-Big East Player of the Year accolades.

His highly successful = ve-year (1995-99) tenure at Northern Arizona saw him transform the Lumberjacks from one of the nation’s weakest programs into a consistent NCAA Tournament contender.

However, his 1996-97 squad went 21-7, set the school-record for wins and achieved the 10th best single-season turn- around in NCAA men’s basketball history. Northern Arizona captured the Big Sky regular-season championship by three games and advanced to the National Invitation Tournament. Howland was named the conference’s Coach of the Year. < e following season (1997-98), the Howland-led Lumberjacks advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the = rst time in school history a er capturing the Big Sky Tournament championship and second straight regular-season title. In its = rst round of NCAA play against No. 2 seed Cincinnati, Northern Arizona led the heavily favored Bearcats for the majority of the game before, falling on a last second 3-pointer, 65-62. On Sept. 25, 2004, Howland’s 1998 NAU team was inducted into the NAU Athletics Hall of Fame. During Howland’s = ve-year tenure, Northern Arizona emerged into one of the country’s top shooting teams.

Northern Arizona tied a league record for most wins over a two-year span (27) and ranked among the nation’s Top 30 in wins over that same period. With Howland’s success, the city of Flagsta7 , AZ, proclaimed April 27, 1998 “Ben Howland Day.” While the success of Howland’s teams on the court is im- pressive, his programs have also produced top-notch students. In 1998, NAU and Utah were the only two schools in the nation to reach the NCAA Tournament and record a team grade-point average over a 3.0. Howland’s Career as an Assistant Coach Prior to his Northern Arizona appointment, Howland served as an assistant coach at the University of California, Santa Barbara for 12 years (1982-83 through 1993-94). During that time, he tutored eventual NBA players Brian Shaw and Conner Henry. He also oversaw the development of UCSB’s Eric McArthur, the nation’s second-leading rebounder in 1990, and Gary Gray, an All-Big West Conference selection. In Howland’s last seven years at the school, the Gauchos advanced to postseason play on = ve occasions. Howland’s Playing Career Howland enjoyed a standout playing career at Weber State where he was named the team’s Most Valuable Defensive Player in both 1978 and 1979. He led the Wildcats to two Big Sky cham- pionships and a pair of NCAA Tournament berths.
