Wooden suffers fractures in fall
LOS ANGELES — Former UCLA basketball coach John Wooden remained hospitalized but apparently in good condition Saturday after a spill in his condominium left the 97-year-old legend with a pair of broken bones.
Wooden broke his left wrist and collarbone in the Thursday night fall, and may have to spend the weekend in the hospital, his daughter said.
Daughter Nan Muehlhausen said Wooden was resting comfortably in a hospital and visiting with family members.
Wooden has a hairline fracture in his wrist and a fractured collarbone. He also hit his head, but a CT scan of his head and neck were negative.
Wooden coached the Bruins to an unsurpassed 10 NCAA championships in the 1960s and '70s, including consecutive titles from 1967-73. His teams also had an 88-game winning streak.
