UCLA fires Ben Howland as basketball coach

LOS ANGELES (AP) — UCLA has fired Ben Howland as basketball coach after 10 seasons that included three Final Four appearances, but culminated with another early-round exit from the NCAA tournament.

Howland had a 233-107 record in Westwood, including three consecutive Final Four appearances from 2006-08 and four Pac-12 championships, including this season. The Bruins' season ended last Friday with an 83-63 loss to Minnesota in the NCAA tournament.

In a statement through the university, Howland says he's been blessed to coach at UCLA and that he looks forward to what comes next.
