Ben Howland Explains Why UCLA Hoops is the Best

[CollisontoLove]

The irony that a KU fan is talking about tainted titles. Danny Manning and probably that entire 2008 KU team say hello!

[Jhawk275]

UCLA has more titles than anyone, so it's easy to say they're the most successful program of all time. For tradition and history there's no school that comes close to Kansas. 

[KuPainter]

"The two greatest players to ever play college basketball ......Kareem Abdul Jabbar (1) and Bill Walton (2), actually its 1 and 1(a)..."

Wilt Chamberlain says hello...

[KanelJayhawk]

That should read Sam Gilbert 10 titles, Kansas 3, UCLA 1.

[dezbriscoe80]

Get ready to get your asses handed to you Sunday at Pauley "Half-empty" pavilion. Cal-St Fullerton? Portland? Long Beach ST?. No, this is KANSAS coming to your house. Rock Chalk Jayhawk. fUCLA

[jobanna6]

Is that even a question????? Really

[luvjb95]

i think we all know who has a better tradition UCLA

[fuzzybunnie45]

UCLA is known for their famous Basketball team and Football team.

[Disneysimsrainfall]

In regard to championships and a run of dominance like no other school has ever seen; then it's UCLA hands down. If you consider a school's merit based on long term sucess, history, tradition, lineage and legacy; it's Kansas.

[Jamescaprio14]

@Disneysimsrainfall thats exactly it... UCLA has the most dominant run of all time... but after that their resume isn't impressive at all. Especially when you consider they are trailing Kansas by some 400 wins some 20 conference championships. Future reference Kansas has 5 national championships... not 3. Helms is a NC whether u like it or not.

k-a-n-s-a-s made-up-the-fucking-sport.... don't give me UCLA has more tradition shit.

[vrbruin]

Hey fool2005 - UCLA took "kansas'" game and took it to another level. 11 national championships for goodness sakes! Hands down, UCLA has a FAR GREATER tradition in terms of BB program and winning titles. Put down the bottle and sober up, dude.

[ewcorpuz]

Well, Naismith was in Springfield, MA when he made up the sport. So are you saying that U-M-A-S-S has the greatest tradition? Naismith was working at the YMCA when he invented basketball. So are you saying that the Y-M-C-A has the greatest tradition?

Kansas did have Naismith there, and as Howland said, he was a very special man. But he didn't even have a winning record at KU! You're silly if you think that Kansas has a greater college basketball tradition than UCLA, Kentucky, or UNC.

[fol2005]

Kansas has more wins the UCLA and UNC thanks. Also, Naismith was our Athletic director and hes credited Kansas for being the birthplace of Basketball.

NCAA Tournament Appearances UCLA 40 KU 36 NCAA Tournament Victories UCLA 88 KU 76 Final Four Appearances UCLA 16 KU 12 Final Four Victories UCLA 25 KU 9 NCAA Titles UCLA 11 KU 2

[Jerrymaguiregpgl]

NOBODY, NOBODY, in any sport has EVER had the level of dominance UCLA has had in Men's BB. 88 straight wins. 7 straight NCAA Championships. We kick so much ass, the only banners we post in Pauley Pavillion are NCAA Championship banners, not conference Championships, or Sweet Sixteens, or even Final Four banners like some other schools. The school of true CHAMPIONS will only accept NCAA Championship banners to decorate its hallowed halls.

[Jerrymaguiregpgl]

fol2005:

You're a complete fukken moron with no credibility. Now you're back tracking. Earlier you said, "k-a-n-s-a-s made-up-the-fucking-sport.... don't give me UCLA has more tradition shit. "

[nickka2007]

and men created the tampon, whats your point?

[Jerrymaguiregpgl]

Fucken laughable. HAHAHAHA. Kansas didn't invent the sport you moron. James Naismith, who isn't even American, invented the sport while working as a physical education teacher at a YMCA in Massachusetts. His invention of the game was inspired by a game he played as a child in Canada called "Duck on a Rock". James Naismith was Canadian, u fukken dipshit. Anyways, who cares. Even if he did come to Kansas to promote and further the sport, UCLA perfected the game and dominated it.

[fol2005]

James Naismith who invented the game, credited Kansas the birthplace of basketball. The original 13 rules are in a bullet proof case Allen Fieldhouse. Phog Allen (the Godfather of Basketball Coaching) James Naismith, Dean Smith, Adulf Rupp, Wilt Chamberlain, and even your beloved John Wooden started their careers at KU.

KU is home to the birthplace of basketball and the Godfathers of the sport.

[Jerrymaguiregpgl]

So keep dreaming, you Kansas hicks and have another reason to hate beautiful LA. The center of the universe and home of the most beautiful people in the world.

[jasonth13]

And UF is gonna beat his ass again!

[JoeBruin11]

You go out of your way to comment on a UCLA/Howland video when you guys are the defending champs? Insecure much? Well, at least you still have your meaningless diploma! (if you even went to UF, that is)

[jasonth13]

Hope you enjoyed another asswhipping! Your coach is blustery turd, and I took particular pleasure in watching UF humiliate him once more.

[JoeBruin11]

Wow, what classy (and clever) fans UF has! Speaking of "pleasure", I bet watching Noah shriek like a little girl gets you "good 'ol boys" in Gainesville ALL hot and bothered! Really works up the 'ol appetite for some Waffle House, don't it!

BTW, your school still sucks (considering it churns out unimaginative twits like yourself). I would DEMAND a refund...if you ever even went there, that is. Idiots bore me...

In parting, here's a little math for ya there, Jethro: 11 banners > 2

[JoeBruin11]

One last thing: how are those royalty checks from your family's appearance in "Deliverance" working out for ya?

[vrbruin]

Donovan to the Magic. Nice "flash in the pan" program you had there, you arrogant prick. Back to the NIT (maybe) for you and back to being a FOOTBALL ONLY school. No Donovan, no lottery pick players = kicking your now sorry team into the Atlantic next time we se 'em.

[jasonth13]

What was that you were saying, dipshit?

LMAO!

[lordofrock99]

In the company of some the current greats (Krzyzewski, Pitino, Williams, Self, Calipari, Knight, Smith, Boheim) BEN HOWLAND is THE best NCAA hoops coach in the Nation.. Period. Best of all, he is clearly a LIFER!!! We are so fortunate to have him.

[urland]

You gotta love a coach who truly understands and loves a school's tradition. I hope Coach Howland is the coach at UCLA for many many many years!
