I attended Wooden’s basketball camp in the early ‘70s at Cal Lutheran College (where we shared the dining hall with the Dallas Cowboys, who were at training camp) and then at Pepperdine. Coach emphasized the fundamentals, which he drilled in us all week. Current and former Bruin players helped us out as well. Amazing experience. I highly recommend his books.

I too met coach Wooden when he was a keynote speaker at a firm education conference at Pepperdine

I introduced myself afterwards and asked him to autograph the program which he did, and even though he was not sure how old he remembered my name in the autograph. Despite me being a grown man, I reacted like a kid, a memorable moment.
