John Wooden - greatest coach of all time.
Everybody thought UCLA would be toast after Alcindor left.
Wrong.
He won 5 NCs with small teams without Alcindor or Walton.
Still recall when his small UCLA team in 1970 defeated Jacksonville who had two 7 footers - Artis Gilmore and Pembrooke Borrows. Never thought they had a prayer.
