Beloved, respected, and admired for his work on and off the basketball court, coach John Wooden remains a source of fascination and inspiration even after his passing in 2010 at age 99. Wooden led the UCLA Bruins to 10 NCAA championships in 12 years�� record that will likely never be equaled��ut his teachings and his impact reached far beyond basketball.
As a legacy to the man who meant so much to so many, UCLA commissioned this incomparable tribute, with over 300 exclusive images from the university's archives, photographs of Wooden's belongings (donated to the university by his family), and contributions from Wooden's players and prot矇g矇s. This singular retrospective begins in 1948 when Wooden arrived on the UCLA campus and spans the championship era and Coach's golden years as it chronicles his remarkable life and times.
