He has several years of coaching experience in the NBA. Well respected as a person. Fan base loves him. I expect him to be an elite recruiter. It's a risky move, but not a bad hire, especially given the timing of Beilein's departure.
He has never recruited a soul in his life. Not all are good at it, so it will be interesting to see how he handles pandering.

Penny hardaway seems to really be struggling recruiting
if i were a UM fan i'd feel that "we" just took a pretty big step down from Beilein.....though, you never know and i'm heavily biased against nostalgia hires or "back to the glorious past with an alum".
howard has some positives but while beilein was making izzo work for it in that rivalry (though MSU won all 3 last year, 3 of 6 or 7 UM losses all season, ouch!)....hard to see that going forward imho.
He was an aau coach making inroads with these guys prior to going to college but don't let that get in the way of your attempt at this homerun point your trying to drive
howard has worked for one of the best coaches in the NBA for 6 years ..
That's a stretch.

He’s the one coach Lebrun didn’t get fired
And his record without Lebron is pretty middle of the road.
I'll admit that it is REALLY difficult to evaluate how good a coach is, when the talent differs so much from roster to roster. Obviously having a super star (or multiple) makes winning that much easier.
