He focused on character and fundamentals with his players, and they reflected that.<br /><br />He was a true motivator for those young players. They not only wanted to win, but, I think because they respected him so, they wanted to please their coach and gain his respect for them as well.<br /><br />PrisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516627478339613810.post-79578760557222462122010-06-05T05:16:55.589-07:002010-06-05T05:16:55.589-07:00LASUNSETT....that is the best tribute ANYBODY coul...LASUNSETT....that is the best tribute ANYBODY could pay Wooden, in so few words.
