Howland Withdraws From Oregon State Consideration

Former UCLA coach Ben Howland has withdrawn his name from consideration for the open Oregon State men’s basketball job, a source has confirmed with The Oregonian.

ESPN first reported Howland’s decision to stop pursuing the vacancy.

With Howland out, Arizona assistant Damon Stoudamire is the only candidate known to have discussed the position with athletic director Bob De Carolis. The former Trail Blazer had a preliminary phone conversation Monday morning with De Carolis.

Stoudamire would accept the Beavers job for an annual salary of less than $800, 0, a source said. That figures to be significantly less than Howland, who led UCLA to three straight Final Fours before being dismissed after 10 seasons in March 2013, would have commanded.
