Yes, Happy Birthday but why limit it to college basketball. Isn't he the best coach ever?

Wooden says that everyone can make a fuss if he makes it to 100.

Nice 99 things article in today's LA Times.

Yes, congratulations, a legend from my transplanted state of Indiana. Guy won an Indiana State title with Martinsville High School in 1927!!!

It's really difficult for me to like John Wooden. He did coach at UCLA after all.

I do respect him though. Here's to him making the big 100.
