In late September, former UCLA Bruins player and longtime television executive Andrew Hill came in to speak to the Lakers staff about the lessons he learned from the legendary coach John Wooden.
Hill penned a book titled after one of Wooden’s most famous sayings, “Be Quick – But Don’t Hurry!” that detailed how their relationship evolved over the years. In short, Hill was upset he wasn’t earning minutes on the court at UCLA, and held it against Wooden for a long time, not even speaking to the Hall of Famer for 25 years … but he had an epiphany later in life, contacted Wooden, and they grew very close.
