Sure, a bunch of his programs have had NCAA issues, but regardless, if you want to have talent come through your program and win games, he is a phenomenal choice. But Dawg61 is specifically lauding him for his handling of players and ability to get the most out of his guys, and I don't think he's the best around at that.

And Johnny Jones is a special kind of suck. It shouldn't be difficult to make the Tournament with Ben Simmons.

Cal really got the most out of Skal Labisierre

You're imagining the kind of coach Howland was at UCLA. He's the same guy.

He never got a technical foul while coaching at UCLA? Doubtful

Great point. I wish our fans would understand that a top 5 class does not mean we are on UK level. The main reason for the top class was the number of players. It was huge for a b-ball class.

He can get pretty fired up looks like it..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzuaHU2m6dE

The absolute stupidity (and Bama like) of our fans never ceases to amaze me.

We get fleeced by the refs every game and we have a coach with zero technicals. That's a problem

First and only technical he got at UCLA. Howland has never been the type of coach you seem to think he is.

John Wooden hardly got up from the bench when he coached. He must've really sucked**

Look I'm not in the league with any of the coaches mentioned in this discussion but one thing I do feel I've learned is that you have to be genuine and coach with what fits your own personality. John Wooden felt like if he had to yell and scream to get his players to perform in games then he didn't do his job coaching them in practice. Then there are guys like Bob Knight who I'm sure we are all aware of his coaching antics.

There are many different approaches to dealing with players and they can vary as much as offensive and defensive philosophy. Howland has his own style and has proven it works just fine in the past and I have a feeling he will prove it once again in time.

How many technical fouls a coach gets has never been brought up when I've discussed how good of a job a coach was doing in coaching circles.

Got any specific examples of us getting screwed? Every college game I've seen is full of ticky tack calls. Saying we get fleeced every game just shows how fanatical and irrational you are. Which is par for the course for you.

Jay wright just got a technical. Technicals lead to national championships**

He did just go off though

That description reminds me of the coach we had before Ray....

Not good. Not in the South with a bunch of AAU kids that don't want any coaching already and haven't gotten any their entire lives.

Coaching =/= technicals. And what does being in the south matter?
