John Wooden.

As a player, it would have to be Gail Goodrich and Reggie Miller.

As has been mentioned, Kareem did not convert until after he left UCLA, when he was known as Lew Alcindor.

Gary Beban won the Heisman before OJ Simpson and not very many would bring up his name but that was in the 1960’s..

I'm into the ladies but I'm okay with anyone that likes guys, so whatever floats yer boat!
UCLA has had better Men’s Volleyball teams than woman’s.: Had a high school buddy son won a National title for UCLA in Volleyball..

No kidding? That's awesome.
About 10 years ago UCLA gave a ring to everyone that won a National title in any sport and he showed me his son’s ring and it had all the years and teams on it..

The ring was as big as my fist.. It was unreal..

I really enjoyed Ed O’Bannon’s title run. He had a spectacular senior season.

Was never a fan of Walton but he was tremendous player. Damn near unstoppable in the post.

Was it O'Bannon that basically killed the use of players' names in video games?

Terry Donohue. Seemed like a great guy and he said when his teams played Nebraska they got so beat up they were negatively impacted for the next game or two.

Rick Neuheisel. His laid back SoCal style didn't work against the 90s huskers. 0-4 as head coach at CU vs NU. Wish he'd stayed there longer.
