Shabazz Muhammad is glad Ben Howland will remain at UCLA next season.

UCLA is one of the leaders in the pursuit of Muhammad.

"We're happy for Ben, happy for the program," Muhammad's father Ron Holmes told The Times in a phone interview. "I think he's going to do a good job and that he'll get the program back on track." 

Muhammad is expected to sign a letter of intent with his chosen school on April 11.
