Howland has a job ... for now

UCLA hasn't fired Ben Howland as basketball coach, although his time in Westwood appears to be running out.

A school spokesman said late on Saturday night that contrary to multiple media reports UCLA had not fired Howland.

Howland told the Los Angeles Times that he had not yet spoken to athletic director Dan Guerrero, who typically evaluates Howland and the program after every season. Yahoo Sports reported that Howland had already been notified that he was out.
