http://beyondthearc.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/10/15/412478.aspxThe legend, John Wooden, turned 97 years old Sunday. Happy belated birthday, coach. Oddly enough, one of the biggest celebrations didn’t come in Los Angeles, where Wooden lives and rose to basketball idol status by guiding UCLA to 10 NCAA Tournamenten-USCommunityServer 2.0 (Build: 60608.1)http://beyondthearc.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/10/15/412478.aspx#413783Tue, 16 Oct 2007 17:03:03 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:413783Charley B, Tucson AZMike - You have no idea.Want more examples? The recruiting of Ron Lawson shortly after Wooden arrived in Westwood. Remember his native Indiana had the largest KKK membership outside of the deep South. Or how about his 1-2-1-1 Zone Press. Just ask Cazzie Russell's Michigan or Duke in 1964. Remember prior to Kareem (and Lynn Schackleford and Kenny Heitz) no NCAA Division 1 player had ever won 3 consecutive NCAA Crowns. Wooden's 10 titles is more then Coach K, Dean Smith, Bobby Knight and Jim Calhoun COMBINED! It is amazing to me how little credit the man gets.
