Wooden said there are some things he would change in college basketball today. Post play is often more like a wrestling match. They let them travel and carry the ball. And I think the dunk is bad for the game. But it is still the greatest spectator sport.

It is played with a larger ball than any other sport. It is still a game of action. One might be surprised that Wooden wanted the dunk outlawed since he had the best big man in the game. Wooden's championship teams at UCLA were known for their great big men, including Alcindor and Bill Walton. But many forget that he won his first two titles in 1964 and 1965 with a team whose tallest player was only 6-5.
