Wut? Pearl has never taken a team past the elite 8. Howland has been the final 4 three times. He may be an A hole, but he didn't stop winning big at UCLA. The year they fired him he lost in the 1st round of the tourney, but he also won 25 games that year and the conference championship.
Hopefully, Pearl takes us to the Final Four a few times. I am optimistic.
I agree that Howland has the better record of Final Fours, but why was he fired if such a great coach? Not being an arse or obtuse. Just curious. It wasn't because he was an a-hole. If that were the case, UA wouldn't still have Saban. I think Howland to MSU is a great hire.

From what I understand, it was similar to the Stansbury/Sidney situation. Some favoritism occurred with certain players at UCLA and there were fights at practice, etc.
Plus they are rabid about basketball there and it had been several years since those final 4 runs, he didn't win a NC, and he lost in the first round of the tourney in 2013.

First Round exits at UCLA = Independence Bowls at Alabama. After two or three in a row, people are going to get restless.
