Instant turnaround. Now explain SC 0-120 years
2/8/2010 11:57:09 AMBy: ferd
Wooden immediately displayed the rarest quality a coach can effect: "instant turnaround" for an undistinguished, faltering program. In 1948 he took a UCLA team that had 12–13 losing season the previous year and transformed it into a PCC Southern Division Champion with a 22–7,[3] the most wins for a UCLA season since it started playing basketball in 1919.[34] He surpassed that number the next season with 24–7 and a second Southern Division Championship and won a third and fourth straight Southern Division Championship his first four years. Up to that time, UCLA had collected a total of two such championships the previous 30 years. By 1956, he guided UCLA to its first undefeated PCC conference title and 17 straight wins until finally falling to the indomitable USF team lead by Bill Russell in the NCAA Tournament.
