College Basketball Coach Kisses Reporter

Apparently UCLA basketball coach Ben Howland made a promise to Los Angeles Daily News beat writer Jon Gold in December.

Howland told Gold in a 1-on-1 interview that he would kiss him if UCLA pulled off 22, 23 or 24 wins this season.

After the Bruins earned their 22nd win by beating Washington State 58-54 in overtime on Saturday, Gold reminded Howland of his promise.

The coach lived up to his word, got out of his seat and kissed Gold's forehead.

"And I mean that kiss," Howland said. "I am so happy. You have no idea."

UCLA ended the regular season with a 22-9 overall record, finishing in 2nd place in the Pac-10.
