The 2024-25 Marquette University men’s basketball season will be the second for Chris Howell, as a program assistant.
Prior to arriving at Marquette, Howell served as an assistant coach at Hill Community College in Hillsboro, Texas (2022-23) and University of Mary (2021-2022).
The 2023-24 campaign was highlighted by the program’s 17th all-time appearance in the Sweet 16 and the team’s 56 victories (29-7, 27-10) were the most in school history in a two-year span. Back-to-back Consensus All-America selection Tyler Kolek, just the third ever at Marquette, highlighted the team’s individual recognition on the court. Off the court, the Golden Eagles collected another record-setting effort in the classroom as a team and both Oso Ighodaro (Second Team) and Stevie Mitchell (Third Team) were named CSC Academic All-Americans.
Howell spent one season at Jackson State as a graduate transfer during 2018-2019, he averaged 12.2 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game and helped the program finish third in the Southwestern Athletic Conference.
A two-year letterwinner with the South Dakota State men’s basketball team from 2016-2018, Howell helped the Jackrabbits win 46 games in two years. He led the program to two Summit League Conference Tournament championships and two NCAA Tournament appearances.
Playing one season at Butler Community College during 2014-2015, Howell helped the Grizzlies to a 29-4 record and guided the program to a Jayhawk West Conference championship. He earned All-Jayhawk West Conference honorable mention and All-Region VI honors.
A native of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Howell is enrolled in the master’s program at Marquette, earning his second master’s degree. He earned a bachelor’s in human development from South Dakota State University in 2018.
