John Wooden
99 years young

The story mentions the name of the court at UCLA. And now, the rest of the story...

When UCLA first approached Wooden to ask if he would like having the court named the John Wooden Court, he said no. Only if his departed and beloved wife's name were included would the Wizard of Westwood give his blessing. So the response was that UCLA would be happy to name it the John and Nell Wooden Court. The former coach again said no. As the story indicates, the court is named the Nell and John Wooden Court, as he insisted.
