John Wooden is simply the most successful basketball
coach in the history of the sport. In his 40 years as a head coach,
Wooden compiled an unparalleled 885-203 overall career win-loss
record (.813). Wooden's UCLA teams registered 620 wins and only 147
losses, won a record 10 NCAA championships, and achieved one of the
most amazing winning streaks in all of sports with 38 straight NCAA
tournament victories. His Bruin teams also set the all-time NCAA
record by winning 88 straight games over four seasons, including
consecutive 30-0 seasons in 1971-72 and 1972-73.
As a high school basketball player at Martinsville, Indiana, Wooden
won all-state honors three consecutive years. At Purdue University,
he won letters in basketball and baseball his freshman year and
later earned All-American honors as a guard on the basketball team
from 1930 to 1932. He captained Purdue's basketball teams of 1931
and 1932 and led the Boilermakers to two Big Ten titles and the
1932 national championship.
Wooden was the first person to be inducted into the National
Basketball Hall of Fame as both a player and coach. In 1999, ESPN
named Wooden the Greatest Basketball Coach of All Time. He was also
named The Sporting News Sports Man of the Year in 1970 and Sports
Illustrated Sports Man of the year in 1973.
Swen Nater was a UCLA player under Wooden and the first
and only college player in history to be drafted in the first round
of the NBA draft without ever having started a college game.
Despite this fact, Nater went on to a 12-year professional career
spanning three leagues: the American Basketball Association (ABA),
National Basketball Association (NBA), and Italian League. He was
the ABA Rookie of the Year, and he is the only player in the
history of professional basketball to lead all three leagues in
rebounding.
After his playing career, Nater served as athletic director for 9
years at Christian Heritage College, where he also coached the
basketball team to a national title. Currently, Nater is an
assistant sporting goods buyer for Costco Wholesale, and he resides
in the small town of Enumclaw, Washington, with his wife,
Marlene.
As the great teacher he is, Coach Wooden provides not only the
“what” but also the “how” and the “why” of UCLA's legendary
offensive attack. This book and DVD clearly detail the high post
and high-low offenses as well as special plays and concepts that
produced 10 NCAA Division I national championship teams.
Pat Summitt
University of Tennessee head coach, first women's coach to reach
800 victories John Wooden's UCLA Offense is a must for coaches
seeking to broaden and deepen their knowledge of the game. This
book and DVD provide a special opportunity to learn from two of the
game's best teachers.
Pete Newell
Coach of Olympic, NCAA, and NIT championship teams John Wooden's
UCLA Offense is truly much more than a textbook and DVD. Like
Einstein and Newton, Coach Wooden was able to take a sophisticated
theory and present it in its simplest, most useful form. In that
way, his revelations about the components, continuity, flexibility,
and creativity of the offense provide coaches with a tool akin to
what the wheel and light bulb offered people in previous eras.
Coach Wooden and Swen Nater ensure that you'll have everything
you'll need to enlighten your offensive attack and get it rolling
better than ever!
Bill Walton
Basketball Hall of Fame John Wooden's UCLA Offense reminds me of
just how meticulous the greatest basketball coach of all time was
in teaching the game and devising winning tactics. Even more
valuable than the detailed Xs and Os are the many insights offered
by the coach throughout the book and DVD. Learn from the best to
teach and coach your best.
