In 1910, John Wooden was born. Wooden was the first man ever to be inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame as both a player and a coach. He led Purdue University to the national championship in 1932. Then he became a successful basketball coach in Indiana before taking over the head job at UCLA. There, Coach John Wooden won 10 national championships, a record that may never be broken. Wooden attributed his success, in part, to the unselfishness of his players. He said, "Generally speaking, individual performances don’t win games. Teamwork wins games." The following coaches agree."
