Check out UCLA Magazine's brand-new special issue on Coach Wooden's life and legacy.
Coach John Wooden, who was fond of encouraging people "make each day your masterpiece," would likely have appreciated the celebratory scene that unfolded this afternoon outside Pauley Pavilion on the UCLA campus.
On the occasion of the U.S. Postal Service issuing its Forever stamp commemorating the late, legendary UCLA men's basketball coach, some 300 people turned out — including fans, former players, coaches, family members, post office officials and Chancellor Gene Block — to share memories of Wooden and to honor his legacy as sports icon and teacher whose homespun wisdom and life lessons have resonated far beyond the basketball court.
