John Wooden set the bar for what it means to be a college basketball coach. During the turbulent years of the 1960's and 1970's he established a winning record of NCAA Basketball championships with integrated teams that will never be eclipsed. Seven consecutive national championships in a row! Ten overall championships during his tenure. He was a winner! His athletes went on to individually establish themselves as iconic figures in sports and life. Now John Wooden has made his transition across life's golden stream. He lived for 99 years. His longevity permitted his legendary status to be a beacon of hope for college sports. Look in the stands there is John Wooden; if he can shape the lives of men, you can do it too! Now we will have to look up in heaven and see John Wooden, a servant who was faithful over a few things.
