This is a video of Coach Wooden using Kareem's college team to demonstrate practice drills (11 min.).

He had about 5 practices in one practice. Incredible genius.

A teacher who happened to coach basketball... the greatest of all time!

The greatest college basketball coach ever

Next to Red Auerbach, John Wooden is a genius in basketball and life.

Of course having Sam Gilbert near by with a cash register helped a lot funny how people always ignored that

[@NickDiasOuttaMyLeague]

Every coach that won anything of significance cheated at some point. Especially in college sports. And every coach in NBA-NFL-MLB needs great players to win. No one does it by themselves. NO ONE

[@davidbrothers3788]

@@NickDiasOuttaMyLeague Bob Knight claimed he never cheated

[@CoachJCYOBB]

@@davidbrothers3788 Coach K never cheated either.

@@NickDiasOuttaMyLeague Wooden won his first two championships with pure effort and fundamentals and conditioning. Sam Gilbert didn’t become a game changer until he helped John get Lew, Bill and Jamal. Those guys made John more so than wicks, hazard and Goodrich who were molded by wooden’s coaching.

@@davidbrothers3788I’m sorry but I’d put Wooden and Dean Smith ahead of Coach Knight and it’s got nothing to do with wins or losses or NCAA Violations. The greatest at anything never stop learning and never stop trying to improve. I’m from Indiana. I’ve seen everyone of coach knights clinics. At a certain point in his career he decided he knew everything and didn’t need to evolve. That alone is why he got fired at Indiana and why he couldn’t achieve similar success at Texas Tech. The world and the game won’t remain stagnant. You must evolve with them. He chose not to. So in my mind he limited his capabilities as a coach by staying stagnant. If you truly want to see what Coach Knight’s system could have looked like had he chosen to keep innovating go watch any of Coach K’s final four teams on here.

All of that work, and where did it get them!

[@adiracquetball]

Lol, oh I don't know 10 national titles in 12 years for a start. I would have my soccer teams work without the ball much like Wooden did here. They would shake there head, we need the ball coach. Just keep doing the drill and focus on your positioning and moving your feet. Fundamentals is the key in any sport. You can never practice fundamentals too much. Coach Wooden was incredible. The other thing I took from him was I never talked about winning. They know why they're there. You teach them the skills and how to play like a team. Then all you can ever ask is they give you everything. Results take care of themselves.

How is 5 push-ups going to increase strength? I mean it will, but that would take a damn while

5 finger push ups
