Welcome everyone to Family Talk. It's a ministry of the James Dobson Family Institute,

supported by listeners just like you. I'm Dr. James Dobson, and I'm thrilled that you've joined us.

Well, welcome to Family Talk. I'm Roger Marsh.

As March Madness continues to captivate the nation, we're bringing you part two of a truly special conversation.

On the last edition of Dr. James Dobson's family talk, we heard Coach John Wooden share about his upbringing on an Indiana farm, his father's profound influence, and his beautiful 53-year

marriage to his beloved Nellie. Coach Wooden won 10 national championships at UCLA. It's a record

that stands still today. But as you'll hear on today's broadcast, his greatest legacy wasn't

about wins and losses. It was about character, faith, and wisdom that transcends the game.

Coach John Wooden passed away in 2010 at the age of 99.

Our own Dr. James Dobson had the privilege of sitting down with him shortly before he did go home to be with the Lord.

And before we continued that conversation, Dr. Dobson has a few thoughts to share about his dear friend.

Well, the man we're going to hear from again today is an individual who finished well to his last breath.

We're going to hear the words of Coach John Wooden from UCLA, who went on to be with the Lord at the age of 99.

And he left a legacy that is as rich and meaningful as any that we could ever aspire to. I got acquainted with him near the end of his life. I had an

opportunity to interview him, and what a delightful man he was. Everybody loved John Wooden who knew him. It's interesting,

we developed quite a friendship, and he sent me a basketball that he had signed, and he forgot

it, and he sent me a second one, and then he forgot that and sent me a third. So I've got

three basketballs signed by John Wooden, and I'm proud of

every single one of them. At the beginning of the recorded conversation that we're going to hear

today, which is part two of our discussion together, he was one of the winningest coaches in

basketball history there at UCLA. And he's been honored in so many ways.

In 2003, he received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which is the nation's highest civilian honor.
