Who is the best coach in LA sports history?

[railbird]

Bill Cunerty at saddleback juco won state titles coaching tennis and football teams. hard to beat that combo

 

[John Kelly]

al cinder and walton were the big reasons. Who were the other centers in those years ?

Swen Nater was good.

Swen Nater was Bill Walton's back-up.

Nater never started a game for UCLA.

Steve Patterson is the answer to MrTop's question.

Patterson filled the gap between Alcindor and Walton.

Pat Riley has forgotten more about basketball than Westhead will ever know
