John Wooden, College Basketball's Most Successful Coach, Dies
John Wooden, a staid Midwesterner who migrated to U.C.L.A.
and became college basketball's most successful coach,
earning the nickname the Wizard of Westwood and an enduring
place in sports history, died Friday. He was 99.
Wooden created a sports dynasty against which all others are
compared, and usually pale. His teams at U.C.L.A. won 10
national championships in a 12-season stretch from 1964 to
1975. From 1971 to 1974, U.C.L.A. won 88 consecutive games,
still the N.C.A.A. record.
