From today's TJ Simers column, Alsio High in Reseda is changing its name to John R. Wooden High. Simers interviewed Coach Wooden at the ceremony, and exerpts of their interaction are in the article. Definitely worth a read.

Putting aside Coach's best quality (his character) for a second, let me say that I can only hope that even at 64 (let alone 94), I will be as insightful and articulate as Coach Wooden currently is. It is truly amazing to hear him speak. A few months ago, while SportsCenter was showing highlights of the Wooden Tradition, they played a short clip of Coach being interviewed after the game. He was breaking down the game as well as any network analyst i've ever heard - just incredible.
