From a coaching standpoint, some people might have voted for Coach Wooden as 'The Greatest Coach Ever' because of his record. Some might have voted for him because of the wisdom he's passed on to so many coaches. Both reasons show why he's the clear-cut winner. He's the best.

Coach Wooden never talked about shooting a million shots a day or being 6' 8" or any of those things that I did not have and could not control. He was able to build a dynasty at UCLA based on the things on which every individual has an opportunity to develop and excel. He taught that success could be a reality for anyone.

By far, Coach Wooden was the most impressive man I ever met in my entire life. There was something about his authentic leadership that inherently caused others to follow . . . and I’ve been one of his followers since I was young.

[John Wooden] had a power about him. It was not a demanding presence, but even through just a smile, his spirit shined through. Yes, he had incredible success on the basketball court, but most people now talk about his character.
