John Wooden hospitaliized in grave condition
LOS ANGELES - Former UCLA basketball coach and Hall of Famer John Wooden was hospitalized in Los Angeles on Thursday night, according to Bill Walton.

The former UCLA star said the 99-year-old Wooden was at UCLA Medical Center, where Walton last visited with him two days ago.

NBA commissioner David Stern was asked about Wooden’s contributions to the sport of basketball before Game 1 of the NBA finals between the Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics on Thursday night.

“We decided that we would not declare his obituary now, other than to say that he’s the winningest coach in our history, four 30-0 seasons, and the ultimate aficionado of our game,” Stern said. “We hope he’s in peace right now, and we’ll wait on events.”
