Another interesting contrast would be Wooden verses Rupp, a contemporary who is second among all men's college coaches in all-time winning percentage (.822), trailing only Clair Bee. Or Rick Pitino,
Jerry Tarkanian coached college basketball for 31 seasons. He spent the majority of his career coaching with the UNLV Runnin' Rebels, leading them four times to the Final Four of the NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament, winning the national championship in 1990. Tarkanian like Wooden utilized a pressing defense to fuel a fast-paced offense. Then in your back yard was Red and the Boston Celtics 17 NBA championships. Anyway, a comparative chapter would add value to your discussion of UCLA greats. THANKS
