Greg Howell is the latest addition to the Long Beach State coaching staff, joining the Beach after two seasons on the Men’s Basketball coaching staff at Arizona State.
With ASU, Howell served as the Director of Recruiting and Player Personnel, helping fill the Sun Devil roster including the top two scorers from 2025-26 in Moe Odum and Massamba Diop. He moved to Tempe following three seasons at Rice, where he helped the Owls make back-to-back postseason appearances for just the third time in school history.
Howell was hired at Rice as a video coordinator, but worked as an assistant before the end of his first season in Houston. His work with Max Fiedler helped him 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.
Before his time at Rice, Howell spent 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. Before Team Harden, Howell served as a Marketing Associate and Scouting Assistant for the Houston Rockets. While with the Rockets, he assisted with online scouting of future potential prospects while creating detailed reports on players’ on-court performance.
Howell played basketball and graduated from Artesia High School in Lakewood, winning a CIF Section and State Title in 2006. He then played for two seasons locally at Cerritos College before transferring to Waldorf University, where he starred for two seasons. At Waldorf, he recorded 81 career steals, the sixth most in school history. Howell received his bachelor’s degree in Business Marketing and Sports Management from Waldorf in 2012.
