Yes, Alcindor was only there four years and only played varsity three years (freshmen couldn’t play back then I believe). John Wooden is about a lot more then Lew Alcindor.
Darn right. In fact, 5 of his 10 NCAA championships were won without either Alcindor or Walton playing. ...a fact many aren't aware of. The best coach of all time, by a wide margin.
And a first-class human being.
