Coaching career

Beginning his coaching career in his hometown of Fort Wayne, Indiana, Howard became an assistant coach at the University of Saint Francis where he was on staff for four seasons before joining the coaching staff at Robert Morris. In 2001, Howard was named the head coach at Division III Hardin–Simmons.[4] In his tenure with the Cowboys, Howard compiled a 78–103 record, while guiding the team to its first-ever league tournament appearance and league finals appearance, being named American Southwest Conference Coach of the Year in 2005.[1] Howard would return to the Division I ranks joining Sean Woods's staff at Mississippi Valley State from 2008 to 2011. After a one-year stint as head coach at North Park University, Howard reunited with Woods at Morehead State.[5][6]

In 2017, Howard became an assistant coach at Alabama A&M under Donnie Marsh.[7] When Marsh departed for an assistant coaching position at Florida Gulf Coast in 2018, Howard was named the interim head coach for the 2018–19 season.[8] After a 5–27 record under the interim title, Alabama A&M lifted the interim title.[9][2]
