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.

UCLA AD when he was fired:

Athletic Director Dan Guerrero, in firing Ben Howland, stated that local recruiting relationships had been damaged.

After his string of final fours, he pissed off local talent and thus hired an AAU coach who delivered a top ten class. Once again, his recruiting wasn't to blame. They got pissed at his slow style of play more than anything.
