John Wooden near death

[Scott M]

Lots of reports saying Wooden, 99, is at the UCLA medical center in grave condition.

I hope things improve.

RIP Wizard of Westwood, there will never be another Husband, father or coach like him again

[Scott M]

Indeed, RIP. He led a great life with an impact far beyond the basketball court. I have a number of his books and will have to crack one tonight.

crazy to read that he should have been the gophers b-ball coach but a snowstorm cursed us and he signed with UCLA and the rest is history!!! RIP JOHN WOODEN!!!!!!!

John was the epitomy of what a college coach should be. A great leader, passionate teacher and a positive influence and role model for every young man he came across in his life. RIP John..... rest assured your passion has been passed on.
