Former Head NCAA Basketball Coach for the UCLA Bruins

About

Coach John Wooden (1910-2010) guided the UCLA Bruins to ten NCAA basketball championships over a twelve year period, including an eighty-eight game winning streak and four perfect seasons. He is one of three basketball hall-of-famers to be inducted as both a player and coach. Wooden was named ESPN’s “Greatest Coach of the Twentieth Century” and voted "#1 Coach of All Time” by The Sporting News. Sports Illustrated said it best: “There’s never been a finer man in American sports than John Wooden, or a finer coach.”
