Better yet, just announce him as the first member of the staff at the presser. #WIN

That is definitely a take with grain of salt type of rumor but I heard this earlier and has been posted by Paul as well. Looks like something to it. Brooks will at least get a look to be retained.
"Prior to UCLA, Howland also coached at Northern Arizona and Pitt, winning league titles at both stops. He didn’t coach either of the past two seasons, instead working as a color commentator for both Fox Sports and NBC Sports college basketball broadcasts."

I find it interesting, and credible, that the site reporting he is a serious candidate (NBC sports) has also been his employer for the past two seasons, or at least one of his employer's along with fox. I would imagine NBC has people with direct contacts to him, or he may have even tipped off the NBC people himself in order to get it out there.
How old is Howland?
an offer was made 3 days ago.... He wanted significantly more money... Strick got it lined up yesterday to make an offer very close and supposedly Howland is sitting on it and is very likely to take it.. its within 200k of what he wanted so look for it to happen...
If Howland doesn't work out, is Kermit Davis on the list of possible candidates?

Get it reported on ESPN, local, secn, fox1, etc on Tuesday, then by cbs on Thursday when sweet 16 kicks off. Get it done...
Will be huge news this week in hoops world.
My bad. Somehow overlooked that.Quote:
