With the recent passing of John Wooden, the HBO documentary "UCLA the Dynasty" is more relevant than ever. It covers the UCLA basketball program from 1964 through 1975. I'm a UCLA alumn and went there during some of those years, so I'm biased to begin with, but this documentary is brilliant despite my being pre-dispossed to enjoy it. Much of the footage I had never seen before. To any college basketball fan, I can't recommend this movie too highly. The Bruins set so many records and John Wooden accomplished feats that will never be duplicated. During one streak the Bruins won 88 games in a row. During the 12 year run they won 10 NCAA titles, seven in a row. With all the tributes coming in since Wooden's passing away, I can't think of a better way to learn more about him than watching this film.
