His parents had interests in art, literature, politics, and music. Walton took music lessons, and although his parents were not sports-oriented, Walton followed in the footsteps of his older brother Bruce, who had gravitated toward sports. When the Walton children were in junior high and high school, their father formed an informal family band: Bruce played trombone, Bill played baritone horn, Andy played the saxophone, and Cathy played drums (or flute or tuba).<a href="#cite_note-Reed-1972-9">[9]</a> Walton first played organized basketball under Frank "Rocky" Graciano, who coached at Walton's Catholic elementary school.<a href="#cite_note-Reed-1972-9">[9]</a> Walton said that Graciano "made it [basketball] fun and really emphasized the joy of playing the team game.

Because of his recovery from the knee surgery, Walton played most of his sophomore year on the junior varsity team. Coach Gordon Nash promoted him to the varsity team the end of the season. But, he played in only six games and did not start any of them.<a href="#cite_note-si.com-13">[13]</a> Between his sophomore and junior years of high school (age 15–16), Walton grew from 6 ft 1 in (1.85 m) to 6 ft 7 in (2.01 m).<a href="#cite_note-si.com-13">[13]</a> Coach Nash played Bill and Bruce Walton together in the paint. Bill was taller, but frail as he had not filled out his growing frame. Bill was unable to play a complete game without resting. "He would simply get too tired", recalled Nash. "When that happened, he'd tell me and I'd take him out."<a href="#cite_note-si.com-13">[13]</a> While Walton was in high school in <a href="/wiki/1967%E2%80%9368_NBA_season" title="1967–68 NBA season">1967</a>, the <a href="/wiki/1967_NBA_expansion_draft" title="1967 NBA expansion draft">NBA expansion</a> <a href="/wiki/1967%E2%80%9368_San_Diego_Rockets_season" title="1967–68 San Diego Rockets season">San Diego Rockets</a> came to town. The Rockets had no set practice facility and would often play pick-up games at Helix High School. Rocket players learned that to get into the Helix gym they could call the teenage Walton, who had his own gym key. Walton recalled <a href="/wiki/Elvin_Hayes" title="Elvin Hayes">Elvin Hayes</a> calling and telling his mother, "Tell Billy, Big E is calling and we need him to open the gym tonight. I said, 'Mom, that's Big E! Give me the phone!' I was never so embarrassed in my life. Elvin and I are still close friends. All of those guys, all still my friends to this very day."<a href="#cite_note-espn.com-15">[15]</a> "We had the best gym in San Diego and all the Rockets players wanted to go there," Walton reflected.

He was recruited by many colleges, but quickly accepted UCLA's scholarship offer to play basketball for the Bruins and Coach Wooden. Wooden became a lifetime mentor to Walton.<a href="#cite_note-23">[23]</a> Said Walton of Coach Wooden: "I was John Wooden's easiest recruit. I became his worst nightmare. I drove the poor guy to an early grave when he was 99. I had three different periods of my life in my relationship with him: (1) when I was a high school student and he was recruiting me; (2) when I played for him when I was 17 to 21; (3) and then 36 years of being his friend. I had no idea what we had at UCLA. I thought everybody had the same thing: great parents, great schools, great neighborhoods, great colleges, great coaches. Then I joined the NBA. And I realized immediately that I had just absolutely blown this whole deal with John Wooden. And so I spent the rest of my life, first of all, trying to make it up to him; and second of all, no longer [bringing] consternation into his life."<a href="#cite_note-GQ.com-2016-24">[24]</a> Walton played for UCLA under Coach Wooden from 1971 to 1974.
