Looking for Good News? Turn to the Wizard
Congratulations to J.A. Adande for his superlative article (Oct. 14) on John Wooden and his 88th birthday. It highlighted so much that is good about Coach Wooden, well beyond that which we already know from his successes in basketball.
Our search for a hero could always end at Pauley Pavilion. Today that search is all the more difficult because of the proliferation of greed, money, drugs and the like in the world of sports. But we still have Coach Wooden, and all that he has given to us both in and out of sports to be thankful for. Thanks, J.A., for bringing it to our attention in such an insightful way one more time.
