Re: John Wooden hospitalized, in "grave" condition

I grew up watching college hoops and remember marveling at those UCLA teams. Not for the physical talent but instead for the manner in which they played the game.

I was a young teen when he won that last title and cheered my ass off that night.

Re: John Wooden hospitalized, in "grave" condition

I started following basketball at the tail end of his career.
From everything I've heard and read about the man, it was a life well-lived.
RIP.

Was too young to see him coach, but his record on the court and his classiness off it will stand the test of time. RIP.
