UCLA’s Ben Howland isn’t just the tough guy
Being with Ben Howland in the off-season can be a walk in the park. In this case, it was a walk in Westwood.
It is a warm October Thursday. A couple of weeks later it will be time for Howland to lead yet another group of talented UCLA basketball players onto Pauley Pavilion’s hallowed court to start playing games.
For now, it is time to split a Cobb salad, talk about old friends and new seasons and watch our money disappear before our eyes. It is one of those days in the stock market, and the big-screen TV facing Howland in Jerry’s Deli is counting it down in red numbers: minus 400 points . . . minus 425 . . .
“I can’t even look at it,” Howland says.
