Coach Wooden what a gift to the world I could here him talk and teach all day...truly the best of what humanity can offer.

John Wooden reminds us of a time when sports took a back seat in our daily lives. A time when Joe Paterno no matter how successful on the Football field would be considered a disgrace for keeping his mouth shut and losing sight of the bigger picture. And that is what makes John Wooden much more then a sports legend, but a timeless fount of wisdom.

Coach Wooden is pure substance, and no matter how much of a the lovable goofball Bill Walton can be just remember he learned from plenty of substance from this guy to compliment his bugger then life style.
