Re: RIP John Wooden
John Wooden was pretty much the greatest man alive. I'm not exaggerating this, either. My dad actually scrimmaged with the varsity team at UCLA for a time and got to see Wooden coach his players up close and personal.

The guy really cared about his wife and family, though; even though his wife passed in 1985, he still put a handwritten love letter on her pillow on the same day every month. Says it all, really.
