Ben Howland ‘intrigued’ by Rutgers job, according to report

Parrish writes it will likely be some time before Rutgers basketball has a new head man because Rutgers President Robert Barchi likely wants to hire a new athletic director to replace Tim Pernetti, who resigned on Friday, and let the new AD help choose a new men’s basketball coach.

Howland led the Bruins to a Pac-12 title this year, but, after being given a No. 6 seed in the NCAA Tournament, was upset in the first round by Tubby Smith — also recently fired — and the Minnesota Gophers. Rice was the head coach at Rutgers for three years before ESPN aired a videotape of him cursing out, hurling balls at, shoving and kicking players earlier this week.
