Who was #1? Dave Bliss?

 

[Shuski]

Dave Bliss was number one and yes he was once an Indiana assistant under Knight.

glad to see Clem Haskins on this list.

Steve Fisher obviously deserves mention, but Bill Frieder started the crap in Ann Arbor. Roy Tarpley, Jobert and gang were showing up to games in the mid 80s in their brand new Caddy's wearing furs. And in Tarpley's case, doing mountains of blow before (and after) each game.
The life of Rumeal Robinson is actually a pretty sad story. From Maseratis and machine guns...to the federal pen. Sold his 89 championship ring to pay off debts. UM basketball was off the rails for many years.

What did Wooden do?

 

[Jssanto]

I don’t remember Bliss in trouble, I will net search.
Was Alford ever in trouble at New Mexico or Iowa or UCLA?

What did Wooden do?

He had a booster who allegedly bought the best talent available. Google the name Sam Gilbert.

Bliss tried to paint a player who had been murdered by a teammate as a drug dealer who got popped.

OP's link isn't working for me, so maybe the article sheds more light on each of them. But those are the high points, or perhaps low points.

Yeah think Happy from Blue Chips. Wooden was a fraud.

Rumeal Robinson also sold his adoptive mother’s condo right out from under her. IIRC, she took him out of Foster care when he was young, adopted him and THAT’S how he repaid her back. What piece of garbage he is!!!

The other posters pretty much covered everything about Wooden and Bliss. The article was by the grueling truth. Sorry my link did not work but just google the article. UCLA has had a few issues since Wooden with coaches on the list.
