Greg Howell begins his third season as Men's Basketball Assistant Coach and fourth with the Rice basketball program.
In 2022-21, he helped the Owls to back-to-back postseason appearances for just the third time in school history and the first since 2004-05. For the second straight year, the team led C-USA in assists, setting a school record with 533. With a win over UTSA in the Conference USA Tournament, he guided the Owls to wins in three straight conference tournaments for the first time since 1994-96. Under his leadership, Max Fiedler and Quincy Olivari earned Second Team All-Conference USA honors, Travis Evee earned Honorable Mention for the second straight year, and Mekhi Mason was named to the All-Freshman Team. Olivari set the school record for career three-pointers made while Fiedler set the school and C-USA single-season record or field goal percentage.
Prior to Assistant Coach, Howell spent a year as the Video Coordinator, where he prepared all post-practice video for the coaches and team. Additionally, he prepared video on all upcoming opponents. He also worked on the floor during practice, working with the post players. His work helped Max Fiedler become one of the best big men in Conference USA, as he finished in the top ten in C-USA in rebounding, assists, assist-to-turnover ratio and double-doubles while setting a Rice record for single-season field goal percentage.
Howell came to South Main after spending four years as Director and Head Coach of the Team Harden AAU basketball program, where he handled all administrative responsibilities while developing and implementing training programs for all teams.
Prior to Team Harden, Howell served as a Marketing Associate and Scouting Assistant for the Houston Rockets. While with the Rockets, he assisted with online scouting future potential prospects while creating detailed reports on player’s on-court performance.
Howell earned his degree from Waldorf College in 2012, where he starred from 2010-12, recording 81 career steals, the sixth most in school history.
