Los Angeles 2010-06-06 00:50:53 (GMT)- Legendary former UCLA coach John Wooden has died. As reported by the Associated Press (AP), Wooden, who was the sole person to have ever been inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame as a player as well as a coach, passed away Friday at the age of 99. He reportedly died of natural causes. Wooden’s children, Jim Wooden and Nancy Muehlhausen, are quoted by the AP as releasing the statement following their father’s death, “He has been, and always will be, the guiding light for our family. The love, guidance and support he has given us will never be forgotten. Our peace of mind at this time is knowing that he has gone to be with our mother, whom he has continued to love and cherish.” Statement of the President on the Passing of John Wooden
I’m saddened to hear of the passing of an incredible coach, and an even better man, John Wooden. As a basketball fan, I remember fondly his ten NCAA championships, his unrivaled winning streak at UCLA, and the caliber of players he mentored. But as an American, I salute the way he achieved all that success – with modesty, and humility, and by wholeheartedly dedicating his life to the betterment of others. Even after he became one of the game’s early heroes, he worked as a high school teacher. And for the rest of his life, on and off the court, he never stopped teaching. He never stopped preparing his players, and everyone he met, to be their best. Despite all the records and the championships, he once said that it wasn’t the tournaments or the games he missed the most – it was the practice and the preparation. He is reunited with his beloved wife, Nell, now; and my thoughts and prayers are with his children, James and Nancy; his grandchildren and great-grandchildren; and all whose lives were forever changed because John Wooden lived his so well.
