Did you know John Wooden got his start at Indiana St? He was Athletic Director, basketball coach, teacher, and coached another sport all at the same time.

Did you also know that Minnesota called to offer him their job (the job he really wanted, because he wanted to remain in the Midwest), but the weather was bad so he never got the message. By the time he got it, he had accepted UCLA's job, and didn't want to go back on his word.

Two years earlier, Purdue offered him the job as coach-in-waiting, but he didn't want to follow his mentor at Purdue out of respect.

Yes, I've been reading about Wooden due to interest over his birthday etc.

The Butler Bulldogs will play Ohio State, Xavier, and UCLA this season. The Bulldogs have been to the NCAA Tournament the past 3 seasons and they have finished the past 3 seasons in the top 25, and yes they are my favorite team.[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEoKTsbF ... re=related][/youtube]
