"To the family of John Wooden: Please accept my sincere condolences for your loss."
"I was blessed to be part of the UCLA class of 1976 and saw Coach Wooden win his last two national championships. When encountering him on campus, he glowed with unconditional love. It didn't matter if you played basketball for him or not, you just felt so loved being in his presence. For that, I will always be grateful."

"John Wooden had tremendous influence on my basketball game, as a student player, and on my life, as an adult. Although Coach Wooden is at rest, his memory, his principals, and his lessons are very much alive and well. I am a father and coach of youth sports. As long as I influence others, I will pass Coach Wooden's leadership principals on."
"RIP Coach. You were an incredible inspiration to us all. You will be missed beyond words. I will always remember you.
Gary McDowell"
