Llewellyn passes away
Richard "Duke" Llewellyn, the co-founder of the Wooden Award, died this morning at 4:00 a.m. according to a Wooden Award official. He was 93. Llewellyn worked at The Los Angeles Athletic Club for 54 years.
The Los Angeles Athletic Club is deeply saddened by the loss, a statement on the Wooden Award Web site says.
Is that the dude who was fighting with Wooden over naming rights?
Ah, the guy who denied Coach Wooden the right to use his name on other awards. Though any death is a loss, it seems somehow like poetic justice that he would pass before the Coach.
Both insensitive comments...
