LOS ANGELES -- A limited-edition stamp honoring the late UCLA basketball coach John Wooden will go on sale early next year.

The U.S. Postal Service announced the stamp on Thursday. He is the second college basketball coach to be honored with a stamp, joining the game's inventor, James Naismith, who had a stamp in 1961.

Nearly 18 million Forever stamps will be issued featuring an original portrait of the coach who guided UCLA to 10 national championships during his 27-year tenure in Westwood, which ended in 1975.
