Your Day John Wooden

[stextbox id=”alert”]Happy birthday to former UCLA basketball coach John Wooden who is celebrating his 99th today. University of Louisville connections abound. Denny Crum, one of his assistants, led U of L to two NCAA championships. Wooden announced his retirement a day after defeating Crum’s team in overtime in the semi’s of the 1974-75 Final Four. He suffered his only loss in a national championship game when his Indiana State team fell to Louisville and Peck Hickman in the 1948 NAIB final. [/stextbox]
