Howland honored as Coach of the Year
Ben Howland received another piece of hardware last week, this time at the 710 ESPN Southern California Sports Awards.
The UCLA basketball coach was named Coach of the Year, edging out Randy Caryle of the Anaheim Ducks (who won the Stanley Cup) and Norv Turner of the San Diego Chargers (who recovered from a slow start to win a pair of playoff games).
Awards were handed out in 12 categories based on fan voting (more than 18,000 votes were cast). Full results and a podcast of the event can be found here.
