I don't "hate" Howland. Not liking someone or thinking he's not a good choice doesn't equal "hate".
As to one-sided, which part isn't true?
I didn't even mention how badly his tenure at UCLA ended.
Couldn't edit the original post.

BTW, Howland was another coach that RJ thought was a worse candidate than Danny Manning. Howland's low point for accumulated conference record was 0.361, after his second season. Manning's high point was 0.296 after season 3.
LaVall Jordan from Butler will surely get a look at the Michigan job. He was Beilein's top assistant before taking over at Butler.

- Bobby Hurley +500
- Juwann Howard +300
- Mike White +500
- Kevin Keatts +700
- Shaka Smart +700
- Brad Stevens +1200
- LaVall Jordan +1000
- Luke Yaklich +1000
- Saddi Washington +1000
Danny Manning not on the board.
Will be interesting to follow where Luke Yaklich goes.
That's assuming Howland would have gotten the same level of recruits at Wake that he got from keeping an ace local recruiter at MS State.
This choice ls like asking, "Would you rather be executed by a firing squad or lethal injection?"
The biggest difference at the time was Howland's best days were behind him and Manning had some success and appeared to on his way. Sometimes it doesn't work out.
Or you could just say, “I was wrong about Ben Howland.”
It’s not difficult.
Continuing to argue after your position has been proven wrong just perpetuates your reputation for being an enemy of logic.
I don't believe Ben Howland would have done well here. He didn't have an ace local recruiter waiting at Wake.
As I stated, Danny failed and I've stated I was wrong about him, but that doesn't mean I think Howland would have done well here. I don't.
Interesting. That could line up Battle to be the head cheese at Providence.
And no one here was enthusiastic when I suggested Cooley as a possible replacement for Manning. It would be great to see Battle be able to use Providence as a springboard to get back to Wake.
Cooley seems like an unexciting, but relatively safe hire.
I don't think he has a ton of upside, but I feel pretty strongly like he also wouldn't be a disaster.
Michigan should aim higher... But they might be having issues given the timing of this coaching search.
