Definitely the Best

John Wooden deserves even more credit than he has received as the greatest collegiate men's basketball coach. Some discount his accomplishments as only happening because of the level of talent UCLA had. Wooden recruited those players and in a clean and scrupulous way. He was not sending anyone envelops of cash that did happen at some major programs. It helped that he had all-time great players on his rosters, but he brought them there and nurtured their innate abilities. Wooden won his initial title before the cavalcade of superstars started coming to his campus. Wooden towers over all the other men's college basketball coaches.
