Happy 116th Birthday to John Wooden. Wooden played at Purdue, where he won a national championship in 1932 and earned three consecutive All-American selections before beginning his legendary coaching career. He took over UCLA in 1948 and transformed the program into the greatest dynasty in college basketball history. Between 1964 and 1975, Wooden led UCLA to 10 NCAA championships in 12 seasons, including seven straight from 1967 to 1973. His teams also won 88 consecutive games and completed four undefeated seasons. Along the way, he coached future NBA legends Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bill Walton, Gail Goodrich and Jamaal Wilkes, helping develop players who would go on to win multiple NBA championships and earn Hall of Fame honors. Wooden retired in 1975 with a 664–162 record at UCLA and became the first person inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame as both a player and a coach. The greatest college basketball coach ever. The architect of UCLA's dynasty, Wooden didn't just build champions. He helped shape generations of basketball greatness.
