John Wooden has died at the age of 99. Not only was he the greatest basketball coach of all time, but his beliefs (aka Failing to prepare is preparing to fail) stood many of his players in good stead for their future basketball and non-basketball careers.
Today's society doesn't produce many men like him any more, so I can just be proud and happy to have witnessed his reign at UCLA and the marvelous teams he produced.
God now has a pretty good coach for Heaven's team.

Agree on Mr. Wooden. His players maintained an amazing level of discipline during a very undisciplined era.
