No, the number of titles UCLA had makes Wooden far and away the better coach because of the other accomplishments. titles mean more to me than consecutive games won.
Titles do mean more....But when I started this thread it was to give Kudo's for the streak to Gino and the UCONN ladies program, it was also to get opinions on how Gino was handling the situation, and in hind sight he (like a few have noted) might be wishing he would have said something different, I don't know...most of those coaches are so bull headed (thats why they are good) that they would never own up to, or retract anything.
I have heard Wooden speak and have read about him and I think he would have come across (in today's world) as extremely Brass even more so than Gino...
