Wooten Grateful For Walton's Wisdom

Anyone who watches an Oregon men's basketball telecast with Bill Walton on the announcing crew knows the former UCLA and NBA center can cover a wide range of ground.

From extolling the virtues of the Pac-12 — always "the conference of champions" in Walton's view — to the music of his beloved Grateful Dead, to the landmarks in whichever college town he's visiting that day, Walton can run the gamut once he gets to talking.

Late last Thursday, it was a different story. Walton had just finished calling Oregon's heartbreaking loss to Washington. He noticed UO sophomore Kenny Wooten back out on the court well after the game had ended.
