“In the end, it’s about the teaching, and what I always loved about coaching was the practices. Not the games, not the tournaments, not the alumni stuff. But teaching the players during practice was what coaching was all about to me.”

Coach John Wooden

1910-2010

As the UCLA Bruins head to the Final Four of the NCAA men’s basketball tournament, we remember the wisdom of John Wooden. Wooden is considered the greatest NCAA basketball coach of all time with a 664-162 record. He won 10 NCAA national championships in a 12-year period as head coach for the UCLA Bruins. GO BRUINS!
