The net worth of Ben Howland, an American college basketball coach, is $11 million.
Ben Howland, who was born in Lebanon, Oregon, earned a bachelor’s degree from Weber State College and a Master’s in education from Gonzaga.
He was a basketball player at Weber State from 1978 to 1980, where he was twice named the defensive MVP twice.
The Wildcats participated in the NCAA Tournament twice, in 1979 and 1980.
Following her graduation, Howland played basketball in Uruguay and then went on to work as a graduate assistant at Gonzaga and UC-Santa Barbara.
In 1994, Howland secured his first head-coaching position at Northern Arizona University, and in 1999, he relocated to Pittsburgh.
The year 2003 saw Howland accepting a coaching position at UCLA, where he won three regular season Pac-10 championships and one regular season Pac-12 title.
He is one of only three active coaches to have led the Bruins to three consecutive Final Four appearances, in addition to being a two-time Pac-10 Tournament Champion.
During the period of 2008 to 2012, a minimum of eleven players left the UCLA program.
Reeves Nelson, a UCLA athlete, was accused of bullying and intentionally attempting to harm his teammates in a “Sports Illustrated” article published in early 2012.
According to the article, Howland was aware of Nelson’s actions but did not take any action; he was dismissed from UCLA in March 2013, leaving with a.685 winning percentage after ten seasons.
Howland has guided over twelve players, including Kevin Love, Arron Afflalo, Russell Westbrook, and Shabazz Muhammad, to pro football.
In 2016, he was inducted into the Northern Arizona University Athletics Hall of Fame as part of the class of 2016. This was a noteworthy achievement, as he had already been inducted into the same group of NAU honorees as his coaching partner in the past 12 years.
