Coach Wooden laid to rest

| | Comments (1) |

Former UCLA basketball coach John Wooden was laid to rest Friday afternoon in a small service at Forest Lawn's Old North Church, a private ceremony for family and close friends.

Wooden died at the age of 99 at UCLA medical center last Friday of natural causes, after family, friends and several former players were able to visit him.

A public memorial for Wooden is scheduled for June 26 at UCLA's Pauley Pavilion, and tickets are available on first-come, first-serve basis to the first 6,000 attendees.
