John Wooden dead at 99.

What he did as a basketball coach is only trumped by what he was as a human being. Seemed to be one of the most giving, decent people you can find. Rick Reilly's articles about him are always great.

Truly a precious human being.
	The Boston Celtics is not a just team of basketball players, but is a world wide family of individuals who bleed green and follow the team through thick and thin. No such thing as fair weather Celtics fans.

A legendary number that would have befitted a legendary man.

Changed coaching for the better in a huge way. He's in total contrast to so many others that "coached" like Pitino, Knight, and Calipari
