Conflicting accounts: Wooden is near death OR has died.

[BobHarvey]

Depending on your media source, John Wooden has either died or is gravely ill. The Washington Post reported his death about an hour ago while other sources have him listed in grave condtion.

Either way not good for the hoops legend.

[BobHarvey]

The Washington Post has run an retraction but as brooks mentioned he's in "at least" grave condition.

[hoopster42]

only the wash post reported his death, then they recanted it. no other site on the internet is reporting his death, to my knowledge

[BobHarvey]

There's now speculation on the internet that Jim Joyce made the initial call on Wooden's death.

Brutal.

not just a great coach, but a great great man

[Brock Landers]

his tank is on E...let the man rest, to wish him to live at this point is cruel...DNR

[Chi_archie]

I wish him the opportunity and time to have the thousands that look to him as a father figure to see or at least talk to him and say goodbye

that is terrible, but so fukking funny.

[Swinging Johnson]

Someone finally got it. Of course, it's the profit.

[ttwarrior1]

uh he is not dead

[Swinging Johnson]

uh he is not dead

Well glad to hear that. I am sure he will overcome and eventually muster the strength to do another coach's video which will inspire a whole new generation of little coach's. Bob Harvey, you're the best man.
