*Features* Cover Type: Paperback with 272 pages Published by: McGraw-Hill Edition: 1st Edition September 26, 2003 Written in: English ISBN 10 Number: 0071424911 ISBN 13 Number: 978-0071424912 Book Dimensions: 8.9 x 6 x 0.9 inches Weighs: 14.4 ounces *Product Description* The legendary coach talks about his life, his players, and his winning philosophies in this bestselling autobiography John Wooden's dedication and inspiration made him America's "winningest" coach. His beliefs in hard work and preparedness brought the UCLA Bruins an unparalleled ten NCAA basketball championships. Now in this bestselling autobiography--with a Foreword by Hall-of-Famer Bill Walton--the college basketball legend reflects on his record-breaking career, his life behind the scenes, and how his top players went on to shape and change the NBA. From the everyday basics to important life lessons ("It's not how tall you are, but how tall you play"), Wooden shares his worldly wisdom on and off the court to offer a personal history of an unforgettable time in college basketball, answering the most-asked questions about his life, his career, and the players who made his teams unbeatable. "They Call Me Coach is grass-roots Americana, a story bigger than basketball. One of those rare sports books that is must reading for everyone." --Chicago Tribune "What Knute Rockne was to football, Connie Mack to baseball, and Wilbur and Orville Wright to flying, John Wooden is to basketball. This book captures the full flavor of the man, the philosophies that work in life, and the philosophies that work on the court. I commend it to people who want to succeed at either--or both." --Los Angeles Times *Publisher Description* 8 1-hour cassettes --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. *Reader Reviews* This review is from: They Call Me Coach (Paperback) What many of us never quite realized is that Wooden was also a great player in his day; only one elected to Hall of Fame as both. One can surmise that much of what carried him to fame at UCLA was already picked up in his early days in life, as student, son, player and then coach in high school. His faith in the Lord and reading Bible daily was inspirational as well. Lessons taught by him to his players were not just about b-ball, but about life. The foreward by Bill Walton exudes this, and one can see how easy it was for his players to play for him. Great read to be re-read. Youngsters should read this.
