Coach Wooden on NPR

"All Things Considered, March 29, 2007· Andy Hill rode the bench on great UCLA teams coached by the legendary John Wooden a generation ago. Hill never felt Wooden appreciated him or really even knew who he was. But as fate would have it, Hill has developed a deep and powerful friendship with the 96-year-old coach."

We all know how much Coach is loved; it's amazing how he continues to inspire people much later in their lives. Many of us know this story, but it's nice to hear Andy Hill tell it in his own voice. This should be mandatory listening for all Florida fans.

Here is the link to the broadcast:

At the end of the broadcast it says the on Friday the 30th Coach will talk about old school basketball on "Morning Edition". I'll try to find the time...it's a long show. NPR is pretty good about putting their stuff online. If anyone finds a link please post it here.
