Howland was fired at UCLA for not getting along with AAU coaches and thus poor recruiting.
What? Howland was a great recruiter at UCLA. Hiring the coach of the Atlanta Celtics was a brilliant move on his part. That's why he left studs for Alford's first year.

They should go after Mike D'antoni.

What exactly was the problem at UCLA? I recall it was a bit ugly when he left but don't remember the details?

Hampered by a string of underwhelming high school classes on the West Coast and by fractured relationships with Los Angeles-area high school and AAU coaches, Howland endured some lean recruiting years from 2009 to 2011. He swung and missed chasing top-tier out-of-state prospects like Adonis Thomas, Terrence Jones, Jahii Carson and Ray McCallum and passed on impact LA-area players like Kawhi Leonard (San Diego State), Spencer Dinwiddie (Colorado), Kendall Williams (New Mexico) or Allen Crabbe (Cal).

He was fired because of his recruiting and primarily his relationships with Los Angeles AAU coaches who hated him. He couldn't recruit Los Angeles.
