UCLA legend John Wooden Dies

Wooden's accomplishments during his 27-season tenure with the Bruins made him one of the greatest coaches in sports history. He also created the 'Pyramid of Success' motivational program that is used by coaches and leaders in various vocations to this day.

In his 40 years of coaching in high school and college, Wooden had only one losing season — his first. He finished with 885 wins and 203 losses, and his UCLA teams still hold an NCAA record for winning 88 consecutive games from 1971 through 1974.

Wooden died Friday evening of natural causes at the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, but his legend will live on. The values he instilled in his players, coaches and anyone he came into contact with, will be his legacy...to all of us.
Thanks coach.

We shall not see his likeness again.
