John Wooden, greatest basketball coach ever, has passed away

John Wooden coached UCLA to ten national championships. But since his passing last night he's being remembered by most as a teacher, a friend, and a gentleman...

Wooden was also quite a wise figure. ESPN has collected many of his quotes, including this one that I found especially noteworthy...

"Talent is God-given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful."

John Wooden was just shy of reaching his one hundredth birthday. An amazing long and wonderful life, he had.
