It sounds easy, but it's actually very difficult. Coach Wooden showed us how to accomplish it. Today, the highest award in college basketball is named the Wooden Award, which honors the Nation's best player in both men's and women's college basketball. John Wooden coached, taught, and lived with honor. He was a very special human being. And this is a Hoosier of which many of us are distinguishedly proud about. I know, California, you also love to claim him. I think all of America can claim him. He is a distinguished gentleman.
