Wooden invented the fast break and the full court zone press. He was the first college coach to recognize that a well conditioned team could win by keeping up the game tempo and exhausting the other team. Also the first to recognize that building strength and endurance in the gym was as important as working on skills.

If only he had taught Purdue the press and how to break it when he played there, we'd be perennial contenders....
