However, in the midst of a five-game losing streak, Gordon left UCLA's basketball team to transfer, in what was stated to be a "mutual parting". Although some news sources speculated Gordon's "increasingly tense" relationship with Bruins' head coach Howland was the deciding factor in Gordon's decision to transfer—especially in light of Howland's decision to suspend Gordon from practice for two days due to Gordon's predilection to be "opinionated and emotional" and to "flash... his temper during games"—it was mostly reported that "it's what's best for all parties" as Gordon did not fit in Howland's preferred style of play.
