As a Green Bay Packers fan living in Wisconsin, I would put John Wooden over another Legendary Coach, Vince Lombardi, as the Greatest Coach/Manager in all of sports of All-Time. R.I.P. John Wooden. Does anyone know the name of this great piece of music playing?

@jimmm7339ki3456 It's from the soundtrack for Dragon - the Bruce Lee Story. The song is called "The Dragon's Heartbeat"

The greatest coach of all time, and an even better person. His wisdom and philosophy have given me so much in life. His lessons and teachings will never be forgotten. I recommend his books to everyone (They Call Me Coach, Wooden On Leadership). "Happiness begins where selfishness ends"- JRW. Just an incredible human being. RIP.

Im a Hoosier. I grew up watching John. I travel down the highway named for him weekly. My father hated you when you beat IU. But he praised you when you beat anyone else. He always told me you were a Hoosier hick just like us. That had made good.. God bless you John

Great tribute! I was a big fan of college hoops in the 1970s & since I lived in NC--basketball country--I, like so many other ACC fans, despised Wooden & his Bruins because they were just so good! You couldn't beat them & if you did, it was headline news. But I've been reading the books he's written & he was a remarkable man, which lead to his being a remarkable coach & producing winning teams. Wish I could have met him. RIP Coach!

Silence really is golden. This tribute without words shows loud and clear the enormity of Coach Wooden's spirit, skills as a coach, and dedication as a teacher, friend, and human being. The images speak volumes of the deep love and respect he commanded from all whose lives he touched. His shoes can never be filled, and his chair will now remain empty~

Beautiful, heart-rendering tribute!

A GREAT great man!! He is the definition of what a coach and person should be!! As a military officer, he has the leadership I strive to bring and display!! RIP to the greatest coach who ever was!!!

@tbags155. What do you mean you can't compare them? Because it's 2 different sports or one is better then the other? Which one is it?
