Prior to being hired at UCLA, he had been pursued for the head coaching position at the <a href="/wiki/Minnesota_Golden_Gophers_men%27s_basketball" title="Minnesota Golden Gophers men's basketball">University of Minnesota</a>, and it was his and his wife's desire to remain in the <a href="/wiki/Midwestern_United_States" title="Midwestern United States">Midwest</a>, but inclement weather in Minnesota prevented Wooden from receiving the scheduled phone offer from the Golden Gophers. Thinking that they had lost interest, Wooden instead accepted the head coaching job with the <a href="/wiki/UCLA_Bruins_men%27s_basketball" title="UCLA Bruins men's basketball">Bruins</a>. Officials from the University of Minnesota contacted Wooden immediately after he accepted the position at UCLA, but he declined their offer because he had already given his word to UCLA.<a href="#cite_note-Puma-4">[4]</a><a href="#cite_note-32">[31]</a> Wooden had immediate success, fashioning the mark of the rarest of coaches, an "instant turnaround" for an undistinguished, faltering program. Part of this success was due to his unique offensive system, the same system that countless coaches use today. John Wooden stated, "I believe my system is perfectly suited to counter all the modern defenses I have seen, and that includes run-and-jump, 1–3–1 trapping, box-and-one, triangle-and-two, and switching man-to-man."<a href="#cite_note-33">[32]</a> Prior to Wooden's arrival at UCLA, the basketball program had only had two conference championship seasons in the previous 18 years. In his first season, he took a Bruins team that had posted a 12–13 record the previous year and transformed it into a <a href="/wiki/Pacific_Coast_Conference" title="Pacific Coast Conference">Pacific Coast Conference</a> (PCC) Southern Division champion with a 22–7 record,<a href="#cite_note-Puma-4">[4]</a> the most wins in a season for UCLA since the school started playing basketball in 1919.<a href="#cite_note-UCLA_History-34">[33]</a> He surpassed that number the next season with 24–7 and a second division title and overall conference title in 1950, and would add two more in his first four years. Up to that time, UCLA had collected a total of two division titles since the PCC began divisional play, and had not won a conference title of any sort since winning the <a href="/wiki/Southern_California_Intercollegiate_Athletic_Conference" title="Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference">Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference</a> in 1927. <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:John_Wooden_-_Southern_Campus_1960.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><noscript><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/06/John_Wooden_-_Southern_Campus_1960.jpg/170px-John_Wooden_-_Southern_Campus_1960.jpg" decoding="async" width="170" height="208" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="1180" data-file-height="1442"></noscript><span class="lazy-image-placeholder" style="width: 170px;height: 208px;" data-src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/06/John_Wooden_-_Southern_Campus_1960.jpg/170px-John_Wooden_-_Southern_Campus_1960.jpg" data-width="170" data-height="208" data-srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/06/John_Wooden_-_Southern_Campus_1960.jpg/255px-John_Wooden_-_Southern_Campus_1960.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/06/John_Wooden_-_Southern_Campus_1960.jpg/340px-John_Wooden_-_Southern_Campus_1960.jpg 2x" data-class="mw-file-element"> </a><figcaption>Wooden in 1960</figcaption></figure> In spite of these achievements, Wooden reportedly did not initially enjoy his position, and his wife did not favor living in Los Angeles.

Wooden felt that leaving UCLA prior to the expiration of his contract would be tantamount to breaking his word, even though Purdue offered more money, a car and housing.<a href="#cite_note-Reilly2009-35">[34]</a> By the 1955–56 season, Wooden had established a record of sustained success at UCLA. That year, he guided the team to its first undefeated PCC conference title and a 17-game winning streak that came to an end only at the hands of <a href="/wiki/Phil_Woolpert" title="Phil Woolpert">Phil Woolpert</a>'s <a href="/wiki/San_Francisco_Dons_men%27s_basketball" title="San Francisco Dons men's basketball">University of San Francisco</a> team (who had <a href="/wiki/Bill_Russell" title="Bill Russell">Bill Russell</a> and <a href="/wiki/K.C._Jones" title="K.C.

However, UCLA was unable to advance from this level over the immediately ensuing seasons, finding itself unable to return to the NCAA Tournament, as the <a href="/wiki/Pete_Newell" title="Pete Newell">Pete Newell</a>-coached teams of the <a href="/wiki/California_Golden_Bears_men%27s_basketball" title="California Golden Bears men's basketball">California Golden Bears</a> took control of the conference and won the <a href="/wiki/1959_NCAA_Division_I_men%27s_basketball_tournament" class="mw-redirect" title="1959 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament">1959 NCAA tournament</a>. Also hampering the fortunes of Wooden's team during that time period was a probation that was imposed on all UCLA sports teams in the aftermath of a <a href="/wiki/Pacific_Coast_Conference#The_crisis" title="Pacific Coast Conference">scandal</a> that involved illegal payments made to players on the school's football team. The probation was also extended to three additional schools: the University of Southern California, California and Stanford. The scandal resulted in the dismantling of the PCC conference.<a href="#cite_note-Wolff-36">[35]</a> By the 1961–1962 season, the probation was no longer in place and Wooden returned his team to the top of the conference. This time, however, they would take the next step, and in so doing, unleash a run of dominance unparalleled in the history of college basketball. UCLA reached the Final Four of the NCAA tournament for the first time in school history. A narrow loss, due largely to a controversial foul call in a <a href="/wiki/1962_NCAA_Division_I_men%27s_basketball_tournament" class="mw-redirect" title="1962 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament">1962</a> semi-final game against <a href="/wiki/Ed_Jucker" title="Ed Jucker">Ed Jucker</a>'s eventual national champion <a href="/wiki/Cincinnati_Bearcats_men%27s_basketball" title="Cincinnati Bearcats men's basketball">Cincinnati</a> team, convinced Wooden that his Bruins were ready to contend for national championships.<a href="#cite_note-Wolff-36">[35]</a> Two seasons later in 1964, the final piece of the puzzle fell into place when assistant coach <a href="/wiki/Jerry_Norman_(basketball)" title="Jerry Norman (basketball)">Jerry Norman</a> persuaded Wooden that the team's small-sized players and fast-paced offense would be complemented by the adoption of a <a href="/wiki/Zone_press" class="mw-redirect" title="Zone press">zone press</a> defense, which increased the probability of turnovers by the opposing team.<a href="#cite_note-Wolff-36">[35]</a> The result was a dramatic increase in scoring, giving UCLA a powerhouse team that went 30–0 on its way to the school's first basketball national championship and first undefeated season as the Bruins beat <a href="/wiki/Vic_Bubas" title="Vic Bubas">Vic Bubas</a>' taller and slower racially segregated Duke team 98–83 in the final. Walt Hazzard fouled out of the game late in the second half on a player control foul, but this proved to be insignificant when he cut down the net in celebration and was named tournament most valuable player. <a href="/wiki/Gail_Goodrich" title="Gail Goodrich">Gail Goodrich</a> (27 points), <a href="/wiki/Keith_Erickson" title="Keith Erickson">Keith Erickson</a>, <a href="/wiki/Fred_Slaughter" title="Fred Slaughter">Fred Slaughter</a>, <a href="/wiki/Jack_Hirsch" title="Jack Hirsch">Jack Hirsch</a>, and reserve <a href="/wiki/Kenny_Washington_(basketball)" title="Kenny Washington (basketball)">Kenny Washington</a> (26 points, 12 rebounds) contributed to the UCLA win. With no player taller than 6 feet, 5 inches, the Bruins' speed and zone press forced 29 turnovers and nullified the height advantage of Duke's Hack Tison and Jay Buckley, two 6-foot, 10-inch players. In the 1964-1965 campaign, the defending NCAA champions got off to an ominous start when UCLA lost to Illinois by 27 points in its opening game.<a href="#cite_note-37">[36]</a> It was all uphill after that as the squad repeated as national champions with Gail Goodrich, <a href="/wiki/Kenny_Washington_(basketball)" title="Kenny Washington (basketball)">Kenny Washington</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Doug_McIntosh" title="Doug McIntosh">Doug McIntosh</a>. The Bruins upended <a href="/wiki/Dave_Strack" title="Dave Strack">Dave Strack</a>'s Michigan team 91–80 in the finals of the NCAA tournament. Goodrich shared Player of the Year honors with <a href="/wiki/1964%E2%80%9365_Princeton_Tigers_men%27s_basketball_team" title="1964–65 Princeton Tigers men's basketball team">Princeton</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Bill_Bradley" title="Bill Bradley">Bill Bradley</a>. The 1966 squad was denied a chance at a triple crown when it finished second to <a href="/wiki/Oregon_State_Beavers_men%27s_basketball" title="Oregon State Beavers men's basketball">Oregon State</a> in the Athletic Association of Western Universities (now the <a href="/wiki/Pac-12_Conference" title="Pac-12 Conference">Pac-12</a>). UCLA was ineligible to play in the NCAA tournament that year because in those days only conference champions received a bid to the tournament. The Bruins' 1967 incarnation returned with a vengeance with sophomore star Alcindor, reclaiming not only the conference title, but the national crown with another 30–0 season, and then retaining it every season but one until Wooden's retirement immediately following the 1975 NCAA championship. The resurgence of the Bruins under Wooden made it obvious that they needed a new home. Since 1932, the Bruins had played at the <a href="/wiki/Student_Activities_Center_(UCLA)" title="Student Activities Center (UCLA)">Men's Gym</a>. It normally seated 2,400, but had been limited to 1,500 since 1955 by order of the city fire marshal. This forced the Bruins to move games to <a href="/wiki/Pan_Pacific_Auditorium" class="mw-redirect" title="Pan Pacific Auditorium">Pan Pacific Auditorium</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Los_Angeles_Memorial_Sports_Arena" title="Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena">Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena</a> and other venues around Los Angeles when they were expected to attract larger crowds—something that happened fairly often after the Bruins' first national title. At Wooden's urging, a much larger on-campus facility, <a href="/wiki/Pauley_Pavilion" title="Pauley Pavilion">Pauley Pavilion</a>, was built in time for the 1965–66 season. The building in <a href="/wiki/Westwood,_Los_Angeles" title="Westwood, Los Angeles">Westwood</a> was christened on November 27, 1965, in a special game that pitted the UCLA varsity against the UCLA freshmen. It was <a href="/wiki/Lew_Alcindor" class="mw-redirect" title="Lew Alcindor">Lew Alcindor</a>'s (later Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) freshman season (freshmen were ineligible to play on the varsity in those days). UCLA was the defending national champion and ranked number 1 in the pre-season poll. The freshmen easily won the game by a score of 75–60. It was a powerful indication of things to come. A rule change was instituted for the 1967–1968 season, primarily because of Alcindor's towering play near the basket. The <a href="/wiki/Dunk_shot" class="mw-redirect" title="Dunk shot">dunk shot</a> was outlawed and would not be reinstated until the 1976–1977 season, which was shortly after Wooden's retirement. This was at least the second time that the rules committee had initiated change in response to the domination of a superstar player; in 1944, the <a href="/wiki/Goaltending" class="mw-redirect" title="Goaltending">goaltending</a> rule was instituted to counter <a href="/wiki/George_Mikan" title="George Mikan">George Mikan</a>'s dominant defensive play near the basket. In January, UCLA took its 47-game winning streak to the <a href="/wiki/Astrodome" title="Astrodome">Astrodome</a> in <a href="/wiki/Houston" title="Houston">Houston</a>, where the Bruins met <a href="/wiki/Guy_Lewis" title="Guy Lewis">Guy Lewis</a>' <a href="/wiki/Houston_Cougars_men%27s_basketball" title="Houston Cougars men's basketball">Houston</a> squad, who had <a href="/wiki/Elvin_Hayes" title="Elvin Hayes">Elvin Hayes</a>, <a href="/wiki/Don_Chaney" title="Don Chaney">Don Chaney</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Ken_Spain" title="Ken Spain">Ken Spain</a>, in the <a href="/wiki/Game_of_the_Century_(college_basketball)" title="Game of the Century (college basketball)">Game of the Century</a> in the nation's first nationally televised regular season college basketball game. Houston upset UCLA 71–69, as Hayes scored 39 points. In a post-game interview, Wooden said, "We have to start over." UCLA went undefeated the rest of the year and thrashed Houston 101–69 in the semi-final rematch of the NCAA tournament en route to the national championship. Sports Illustrated ran the front cover headline Lew's Revenge. The rout of Houston.<a href="#cite_note-38">[37]</a> UCLA limited Hayes to only 10 points; he had been averaging 37.7 points per game. Wooden credited Norman for devising the diamond-and-one defense that contained Hayes.<a href="#cite_note-39">[38]</a><a href="#cite_note-40">[39]</a> The Game of the Century is also remembered for an incident involving Wooden and <a href="/wiki/Edgar_Lacy" title="Edgar Lacy">Edgar Lacy</a>. Lacy was ineffective on defense against Elvin Hayes, and Wooden benched him after 11 minutes. Lacy never re-entered the game. Furious with Wooden, Lacy quit the team three days later, telling the Los Angeles Times "I've never enjoyed playing for that man."<a href="#cite_note-41">[40]</a> UCLA's talent during the 1968 NCAA tournament was so overwhelming that they placed four players on the All-Tournament team. In addition to Alcindor, <a href="/wiki/Lucius_Allen" title="Lucius Allen">Lucius Allen</a>, <a href="/wiki/Michael_Warren_(actor)" title="Michael Warren (actor)">Mike Warren</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Lynn_Shackelford" title="Lynn Shackelford">"Lefty" Lynn Shackelford</a> were given accolades. <a href="/wiki/Kenny_Heitz" title="Kenny Heitz">Kenny Heitz</a> was also a member of UCLA's 1968 team. Lew Alcindor finished his career at UCLA in 1969 with a third consecutive national championship when the Bruins beat <a href="/wiki/George_King_(basketball,_born_1928)" title="George King (basketball, born 1928)">George King</a>'s Purdue team 92–72 in the title game. The three straight titles were matched by three consecutive MVP awards in the tournament as Alcindor established himself as college basketball's superstar during the three-peat performance. Alcindor and Wooden would continue their communication even after he left UCLA. In 2017, Jabbar wrote a book, "Coach Wooden and Me", which details their long-standing friendship.<a href="#cite_note-42">[41]</a> A sportswriter commented that everybody outside of UCLA would be happy that glorious day in June when Alcindor finally graduated and college basketball could go back to the routine method of determining a national champion. This prophecy would prove to be ludicrous over the next six years. The 1970 squad proved that nobody was indispensable to the success of the UCLA program, not even Alcindor, as <a href="/wiki/Sidney_Wicks" title="Sidney Wicks">Sidney Wicks</a>, <a href="/wiki/Henry_Bibby" title="Henry Bibby">Henry Bibby</a>, <a href="/wiki/Curtis_Rowe" title="Curtis Rowe">Curtis Rowe</a>, <a href="/wiki/John_Vallely" title="John Vallely">John Vallely</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Kenny_Booker" title="Kenny Booker">Kenny Booker</a> carried the Bruins to their fourth consecutive NCAA title with an 80–69 win over upstart <a href="/wiki/Jacksonville_Dolphins_men%27s_basketball" title="Jacksonville Dolphins men's basketball">Jacksonville</a>, coached by <a href="/wiki/Joe_Williams_(basketball)" title="Joe Williams (basketball)">Joe Williams</a>.

He left it as a national powerhouse with 10 national championships— the most successful rebuilding project in college basketball history.

In his later years he was hired by corporations to deliver inspirational lectures and even appeared in commercials for Hartford Insurance and the NCAA. Following his death in June 2010—shortly after the basketball season— all UCLA sports teams wore either a patch or helmet sticker with the initials "JRW" inside a black pyramid for the remainder of the season, in honor of his philosophy. Furthermore, the men's basketball team continues to wear the patch as of 2019, though not in black. It is generally known that he received lecture fees that exceeded the salaries he was paid as a coach. Wooden proudly claimed that these late in life windfalls allowed him to set up education accounts for all of his grandchildren. At the top of the Pyramid of Success was "Competitive Greatness" which Wooden defined as "Perform at your best when your best is required. Your best is required each day."<a href="#cite_note-104">[103]</a> Wooden was also the author of several other books about basketball and life. Among Wooden's maxims: <ul><li>Failing to prepare is preparing to fail (from <a href="/wiki/Benjamin_Franklin" title="Benjamin Franklin">Benjamin Franklin</a>)</li> <li>Flexibility is the key to stability</li> <li>Be quick, but don't hurry<a href="#cite_note-105">[104]</a><a href="#cite_note-106">[105]</a></li> <li>Seek opportunities to show you care.
