LOS ANGELES - Former UCLA basketball coach John Wooden has been hospitalized for treatment of a possible recurrence of diverticulitis.

Daughter Nancy Muehlhausen said the 96-year-old Hall of Fame coach was admitted to a Los Angeles-area hospital Sunday because of bleeding in the colon.

"He's absolutely doing fine," Muehlhausen said Monday. "He's laughing and cracking jokes. He looks good."

Wooden had two blood transfusions and will need at least two more, she said. Doctors could keep Wooden in the hospital for a couple of more days, but Muehlhausen said her father was doing well.

Coach, all of us here at the Bruin Nation are praying for your quick return home and continued health!
