Yeah, look at the end of that era. There was a massive amount of smoke re: that last class of his. Suspensions, transfers, two inquiries regarding academic eligibility before the kids ever played a second of college ball, a Dad who allegedly may have lied about his son's age and amateur status before signing on with UCLA, and you can say what you want, but the trend of his Bruin tenure-while not an elevator shaft headed down-was nowhere near what you may try to spin it as.

Kinda sounds like Howland will fit right in with Calapari, Pearl, Tyndall. All have some shady stuff in their past, some more serious than others but shady none the less.
