This past Friday, former UCLA basketball coach John Wooden passed away. Coach Wooden was considered by many to be the greatest coach in the the history of sports. No detail escaped his attention. The story goes that the first day of practice, he would teach players how to properly put on their socks (so as to avoid blisters).
In these days of ever decreasing fidelity to commitments, what made Coach Wooden such a compelling figure was not just his ten national championships, but the fact that he was such a great example of loyalty, commitment, love and faithfulness.
