LEGENDS OF THE GAMES |
Coaches, players and teachers of the game that have influenced the style and passion that Coach Moe brings to his student athletes in every session and game. |
JOHN WOODEN |
John Wooden’s UCLA teams
scaled unmatched heights that no future organization in any sport is
likely to approach. Under Wooden’s masterful guidance, the Bruins set
all-time records including four perfect 30-0 seasons, 88 consecutive
victories, 38 straight NCAA tournament victories, and ten national
championships, including seven in a row. |
BOB KNIGHT |
Bob Knight is a legend
among coaches. His teams performed much like him – disciplined, tough,
smart, focused, and tenacious. His success was based partly on his ability
to instill quality fundamentals in his players. His motion offense
demanded a firm grasp of some of the game’s most basic ideas. Knight's
hard-nosed approach reaped huge benefits including 11 Big Ten Conference
titles, five Final Fours, and a 32-0 undefeated season in 1976. |
EARVIN "MAGIC" JOHNSON |
Few players in history
exhibited as much enthusiasm for basketball or displayed such an engaging
personality both on and off the court as Earvin "Magic" Johnson. Magic's
incredible passion, coupled with his amazing skills, dazzled generations
of fans and turned basketball into "Showtime." At 6-foot-9, Johnson was a
point guard in a power forward's body. No player Johnson's size had ever
done what he could do with a basketball and his incredible talents
resulted in a national championship at Michigan State and five NBA titles
with the Los Angeles Lakers. |
ISIAH THOMAS |
Isiah Thomas ranks as one
of the best small guards in basketball history. At only 6-foot-1, Thomas
was known for his ability to attack the basket without fear against any
opponent, big or small. He played the game with a certain amount of flair,
and never shied away from the game’s biggest moments. His calm, collected
demeanor masked an intense desire to win. And winning became his calling
card. |
