Adam Howard joined Donnie Tyndall's staff in the summer of 2009 as the Director of Basketball Operations. Howard's duties include travel and video oversight and practice preperation and game day operations.
Howard was a four-year letterman at Western Kentucky for current South Carolina head coach Darrin Horn. While at WKU, Howard was part of three post-season appearances: the 2004-05 NIT Second Round (24-9), the 2005-06 NIT First Round, where the Hilltoppers lost to eventual champions South Carolina (23-8), and the 2007-08 NCAA Tournament (12 seed) Sweet 16. That Sweet 16 team beat Drake in the first round and
San Diego in the second round before falling to Final Four participant UCLA in the Sweet 16.
He was apart of 96 wins in four seasons and was awarded the Danny Rumph Most Outstanding Teammate Award for three seasons (2005-06, 2006-07, 2007-08) after the passing of his teammate and friend Danny Rumph (who passed from Cardiomyopathy, which caused heart failure during a pick up game in his hometown of Philly) at the conclusion of Howard's freshman season.
Following college, Howard worked as a host to the University of New Mexico in the Cancun Challenge 2008-09, where he first met coach Tyndall. In the summer of 2009, prior to joining the MSU staff, he worked as a counsler at the Freshman All-American Camp for the top 150 Freshman to be in the country. Howard also assisted on the Derek Smith All-Stars 16U AAU team in the summer of 2009.
