John Wooden, left, is shown with Butler basketball coach Tony Hinkle at the Claypool Hotel in Indianapolis, in this Jan. 22, 1966, photo. Tony Hinkle turned Butler’s pass-and-cut offense of the 1920s into a coaching textbook for generations. Bob Knight and Gene Keady added their own revisions following Hinkle's forced retirement in 1970. Wooden was born in tiny Hall, Indiana, before attending Martinsville High School. Eventually, he turned down the chance to play for Hinkle so he could attend Purdue under another big coaching name, Ward “Piggy” Lambert.(Ed Lacey/The Indianapolis Star via AP)
