the NCAA had no post-season tourney when Wooden played at Purdue so that was no real championship only "mythical". And at UCLA he never won any titles until his 17th season after the notorious Jewish booster Sam Gilbert began to purchase the elite prepsters from the East coast such as Walt Hazzard and Lew Alcindor. The media helped to cover up the shenanigans at UCLA until the NCAA forced Wooden to leave after the 1974-75 season.
R.I.P Coach John Wooden. Humble, inspiring, dedicated, three of many words describing this amazing person. Every action he did, or word he said made the world a better place. He was not only a winner in basketball, but a winner in life. Thanks for the inspiration Coach.
IN MEMORY OF THE GREATEST COACH EVER...THANK YOU FOR THE JOURNEY, YOUR PYRAMID OF SUCCESS AND YOUR "WISDOM OF WOODEN." I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE JUST A PORTION OF BILL WALTON'S THOUGHTS. "I THANK JOHN WOODEN EVERY DAY FOR ALL HIS SELFLESS GIFTS, HIS LESSONS, HIS TIME, HIS VISION AND ESPECIALLY HIS PATIENCE. ~THIS IS WHY WE CALL HIM COACH~ RIP COACH WOODEN. MY PRAYERS GO OUT TO YOUR FAMILY, FRIENDS, B-BALL PLAYERS AND FANS. MUCH LOVE AND RESPECT...ROBIN
May the Wooden family be blessed through this difficult time. Mr. Wooden showed us all that being a champion was not limited to what was just on the basketball court.
Thank you, Mr. Wooden, for the legacy you left for us to follow. Again, may God bless your family and your many friends.

So who would you pick?

of course he was...that's why I ended up with an LOL.
I see at least four other people didn't get the sarcasm LOL part of it either, judging by the thumbs downs.
Maybe I should have put LOL in capitol letters.
