john wooden on his death bed
 

one of the greatest college coaches fo all times and all around humanitarian may not make it through the night. Pray for his family :(

That is too bad. He must be getting up there though.

Way up there. He will be 100 in October. Wikipedia already listed today as his date of death. Little premature on their part.

Good luck, John Wooden.

Can you imagine a coach doing this now? 10 National Championships in 12 years. 7 in a row!

yep 99 years old. I had a chance to meet him a couple of times at school and he was a very caring and nice individual

That is amazing run he had. I had no idea.

UCLA was the definition of dynasty when I was a kid.

He lived a very long life and was a fantastic human being. We should all be so lucky.

Impressive. Dude is up there in the pantheon of NCAA coaching greats

Great coach and even better person. "Only the good die young" definitely doesn't apply in this case. And he was in good health until the last year or so.

The hospital says he is resting comfortably now and was admitted for dehydration.

Our local TV station ran an item saying that he had passed away, then about 10 minutes later, they ran a retraction.

an amazing man, the perfect coach. retired too young.

lots of great John Wooden quotations that will live on for ages.
