It still comes down to attracting players, and UCLA can attract players as well as any place in the country. Ben Howland Read Quote
I’m a good coach. I do the right things for my players, and I try to support them; I try to help them almost to a fault. Ben Howland Read Quote
There’s no question that I’ve made mistakes along the way when you look at recruiting in terms of evaluations of players or character in an instance or two. Ben Howland Read Quote
I don’t know where people got that I didn’t have a good relationship with my players. I’m demanding, yes; I’m on their butt. I expect 100%, but they all knew I loved them, I cared for them, and I’ll always be there for them. Ben Howland Read Quote
This is UCLA. The expectations are higher here than anywhere. The amount of success both in terms of championships and wins as well as success off the floor has been second to none in college basketball. I knew that when I took this job. I know the expectation level, and no one has higher expectations than I do. Ben Howland Read Quote
