Here’s a good way to remember John Wooden (1910-2010), the wonderful man who was a 3-time All-America basketball player at Purdue (1930-32), won 335 games and lost 22 in his last dozen seasons as UCLA’s head coach, won 10 national championships over that span (no other coach has ever won 5), was devoted to his wife Nell for 78 years, and (as one might gather from that last statement) knew every bit as much about life as he knew about basketball: by listening to him in his own words (delivered at age-90).
