What a great ICON from LA sports and the GOAT college coach.
Links to come.
Former UCLA basketball coaching legend John Wooden was being treated Thursday at UCLA Medical Center, according to a broadcast report.
KCAL9/CBS2 reported that Wooden, 99, was in grave condition after being hospitalized Sunday and he has refused to eat for the past couple of days.
A UCLA spokesman could not immediately confirm the report.
Wooden, known as "The Wizard of Westwood," coached the UCLA men's basketball team to an unprecedented 10 NCAA championships in his last 12 seasons, winning a record seven consecutively from 1967 to 1973.
The Bruins won a record 88 consecutive games from 1971-74 and 38 consecutive NCAA tournament games from 1964-74.
But the record Wooden said he is the most proud of is his team's 19 conference championships
