Publisher's Synopsis

Coach Wooden reveals his all-time favorite players, teams, and coaches in this revised and updated edition of the legendary coach's bestselling autobiography

In They Call Me Coach, Wooden reflects on his record-breaking coaching career and how his top players have gone on to shape and change the NBA. In a special question-and-answer section, Coach finally answers the most-asked questions about his life, career, players, and teams. Rarely seen photos round out this very personal story of courage and endurance.

"They Call Me Coach is grass-roots Americana, a story bigger than basketball. One of those rare sports books that is must-reading for everyone."--Chicago Tribune

"What Knute Rockne was to football, Connie Mack to baseball, and Wilbur and Orville Wright to flying, John Wooden is to basketball. This book captures the full flavor of the man, the philosophies that work in life and the philosophies that work on the court. I recommend it to people who want to succeed at either--or both."--Jim Murray, Los Angeles Times
