1910-2010.  Ninety-nine great years. For those of you who don't know who he is, he was head basketball coach at UCLA from 1947 to 1975, and led the team to win the NCAA championships 10 out of 12 years - as well as four perfect 30–0 seasons.  No coach has produced a better record since.  John Wooden, you have now made it to the one place that your Pyramid of Success couldn't take you. May you rest in peace.  For me to know a sports coach by name - let alone college sport - he must have been a big deal.  This is the guy who can barely stand any sport, unless he's actually there.  I guess my autographed pennant is going back on the wall for awhile.

This was sad, indeed.  The man was a mastermind and will be missed by all in the Sluggo household.
