John Wooden John Robert Wooden (October 14, 1910 – June 4, 2010) was an American basketball player and head coach at the University of California at Los Angeles. Nicknamed the "Wizard of Westwood," was a great coach.

He won 10 NCAA National Championships in a 12 year period, including an unprecedented 7 in a row.
Wooden was named the national coach of the year 6 times. Wooden was also the first person ever enshrined as a member of the Basketball Hall of Fame as both a player and as a coach.
John Wooden was regarded as one of the wisest and best college coaches in the history of college basketball.
John has had some memorable motivational quotes over the years, like:

“Be true to yourself, help others, make each day your masterpiece, make friendship a fine art, drink deeply from good books – especially the Bible, build a shelter against a rainy day, give thanks for your blessings and pray for guidance every day.” 

or

“The worst thing about new books is that they keep us from reading the old ones.”

For many many player he was more than a winning coach — he was an exemplary man.
The formerly basket ball player Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (born 1947) posted 2 beautyful photos on FB to honor John Robert Wooden - one rom the time he was his coach and one when John was almost 100 years old ... it realy touched my heart ..
