John Wooden\u2019s UCLA teams won ten NCAA championships in twelve years. Still, the 1960s were a turbulent time when Bill Walton played for UCLA under Wooden, and young people were asking hard questions of anyone in authority.<\/p>\n
Wooden\u2019s answers to such questions never varied. \u201cWe thought he was nuts, but in all his preachings and teachings, everything he told us turned out to be true,\u201d Walton said. \u201cHis interest and goal was to make you the best basketball player but first to make you the best person. He would never talk wins and losses but what we needed to succeed in life. Once you were a good human being, you had a chance to be a good player. He never deviated from that.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe never tried to be your friend. He was your teacher, your coach. He handled us with extreme patience.\u201d<\/p>\n
Today Walton and Wooden, ninety, talk frequently. \u201cHe has thousands of maxims,\u201d Walton says. \u201cHe is more John Wooden today than ever. He is a man who truly has principles and ideas.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen you\u2019re touched by someone that special, it changes your life,\u201d Walton adds. \u201cYou spend your life chasing it down, trying to recreate it.\u201d<\/p>\n
