Howard started his overseas professional career in the Netherlands with the Hanzevast Capitals of Groningen in October 2006 before being released in November 2006. He then played for Trigueros de Ciudad Obregón in Mexico during 2007, preceding a prolonged period with the Fort Wayne Mad Ants in the American NBA Development League. Unlike a similarly named European-league player, this Ron Howard did not have verified 2006–08 professional stints with Újpest or Szolnoki Olaj in Hungary.
In April 2010 Howard signed for Marinos de Anzoátegui in Venezuela, and later that year he joined Barak Netanya in Israel. In three 2010–11 Israeli Basketball Super League regular-season games, including two starts, he averaged 8.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.0 assist in 20.3 minutes, shooting 36.4 percent from three before the Israeli club released him in November 2010. His Israeli matches were separate from his later Australian NBL playing time with the Adelaide 36ers.
Howard played in the 2015 Puerto Rican BSN with Piratas de Quebradillas, making 12 regular-season appearances at 11.8 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 26.4 minutes. He joined the Seoul Samsung Thunders in South Korea for 2015–16, recording 27 Korean Basketball League regular-season appearances at 7.1 points, 1.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 12.3 minutes.
On 6 November 2016 Howard signed a one-month injury-replacement contract with Élan Béarnais Pau-Lacq-Orthez for the 2016–17 French LNB Pro A season. In THREE verified French regular-season games he scored six points, collected two rebounds and made two assists across 24 minutes, averaging 2.0 points, 0.7 rebounds and 0.7 assists in 8.0 minutes. His first French league game at Hyères-Toulon on 11 November produced all six points, one rebound and an assist in 15 minutes; the remaining two games against Antibes and Chalon were scoreless. Contemporary accounts sometimes mention five overall appearances with Pau, but the official French league game log establishes three domestic Pro A fixtures, and an additional two must not be invented as league appearances.
The previous international biography mistakenly attributed multiple Hungarian club seasons, an alleged 2011–12 Strasbourg season and a 2014 New Zealand scoring-leader campaign to this Ron Howard. Those were not supported by his own documented club chronology and have been removed instead of being presented as verified facts. Further Korean club appearances after 2016 are retained in the international team list pending separate match-level verification.
COLLEGE
Howard played college basketball at Marquette during the 2001–02 season before transferring to Valparaiso, where he competed from 2003–04 to 2005–06.

That 2004–05 year also included a career-high 11 assists against Western Illinois (Jan. 22) and a career-high 25 points against Southern Utah (Jan. 27), with his Mid-Con play listed at 16.6 points per game and 4.6 assists per game in conference action.

In 2005–06, he collected 101 rebounds (3.5 per game) and finished with 99 assists, 41 steals, 83 turnovers, and 83 personal fouls.
Howard earned second-team all-conference recognition again in 2005–06, and his Valparaiso career assist total is listed at 247, which has been referenced as 20th in program history.
