Former UCLA coach John Wooden, 97, has returned home for the first time since suffering a broken left wrist and left collarbone Feb. 29. Wooden was released from a local hospital March 11 and spent the past 12 days in a rehabilitation facility. Wooden fell at his Encino condominium sometime during the night of Feb. 28 after watching a UCLA game on television. This is the third consecutive year he has been hospitalized during a similar period of NCAA tournament play. Two years ago, it was because of a stomach condition that caused internal bleeding. Last year he had a bad reaction to medication he was taking for the stomach condition.

Irish fan, you're hating on one thread and showing some love on another. There's hope for you. Hopefully, the Wizard makes a full recovery and UCLA could help that process by winning it all.

Maybe Wooden can live another 10 years and Digger Phelps can die tomorrow. I make that trade any day...
