John Robert Wooden (October 14, 1910 - June 4, 2010) was an American basketball coach. He was a member of the Basketball Hall of Fame as both a player (inducted in 1961) and as a coach (inducted in 1973). He was the first person ever enshrined in both categories. Only Lenny Wilkens and Bill Sharman have since been so honored. His ten NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) national championships in a 12-year period while at UCLA (UCLA Bruins mens basketball) are unmatched by any other college basketball coach.
