    By Ben Bolch - Los Angeles Times (TNS) LOS ANGELES - Ben Howland planned it like this. Of course he did. This was a coach so engrossed in details that he would grumble about the room temperature at news conferences and call a timeout when his team was in the middle of a big run just so that he could set up his defense.

    David Greenwood adored basketball so much in middle school that he would play for three different teams in three different parks on the same day, multiple times a week. His brother, Al, would be in the car driving around with him between games while David traded in his sweaty uniform for a fresh one, repeating the process over and over.
