In 2012, Howard won an NBA title on the LeBron James-led Heat, becoming the only Fab Five member to win a championship. He would spend a few seasons with Miami as an assistant coach as well.

Notably, sophomore transfer Romeo Travis joined the team that year, to make up the iconic Fab 5 of Lebron, Dru, Mcgee, Sian, and Travis. The next year, Dru was named head coach of the Fighting Irish.
