At the meticulously reconstructed Wooden Den inside the UCLA Athletic Hall of Fame, visitors can connect with Coach’s spirit — and get a dose of that old Bruin magic.
A lesson on tying shoes became a trademark of John Wooden as he guided his players to understanding that the key to success lies in mastering the basics.

The commemorative stamp, which goes on sale early next year, is a tribute to “the values he stood for and the timeless wisdom he shared,” Chancellor Block said.
The driving force behind UCLA’s Operation Mend, Katz, a longtime donor and volunteer, has “helped society rethink how we care for the most vulnerable.”
Proceeds from the sale of real estate owned by the couple will benefit the life sciences division, the Anderson School of Management, UCLA Athletics and the Faculty Club.
