In the 1980s Howland’s professional career as a basketball player began, when he started playing for Uruguay, prior to embarking on his coaching career, where he gained popularity as a defensive specialist.

In 1994, Howland secured his first job as a head coach, at the University of the Northern Arizona, where he stayed for five years, and under his guidance, the team won its first Big Sky Conference Championship in his second year, and later they participated in the NCAA tournament, the first ever in the history of the University.
