UCLA inducts nine into Hall of Fame With a
distinguished crowd of athletes, coaches and athletic directors
past and present in attendance, UCLA enshrined nine alumni into the
Morgan Center Hall of Fame Friday night. Among the class of 2002 is
Los Angeles Galaxy midfielder Cobi Jones (1988-1991), who walked on
to the UCLA soccer team before recording 37 career assists, second
in school history. Don MacLean (1989-1992) was a four-year starter
on the UCLA basketball team. He has since then played nine years in
the NBA with a 10.9 scoring average. Duffy Waldorf (1982-1985) was
a two-time NCAA All-American golfer at UCLA who went on to notch
four PGA tour victories in 17 years on the tour. The other
inductees include Shane Mack (baseball, 1982-1984), Ted Narleski
(football, 1950-1952, baseball 1951-1953), Anita Ortega
(1976-1979), Russell Webb (swimming, water polo, 1963-1968), Bob
Day (track and field, cross-country, 1963-1966), and Denny Cline
(volleyball, 1974-1976).
Another Wooden award created The World Sports
Humanitarian Hall of Fame is creating the Nell and John Wooden
Humanitarian Award for Lifetime Coaching Achievement. Wooden will
be presented the initial award Nov. 6 at a formal ceremony on the
Boise State University campus. The award is unique in that it goes
to both the coach and his or her spouse; according to a press
release, “the extent of the spouse’s involvement will
weigh heavily in the selection process.” Coaches and their
spouses from all sports and all levels, from high school to
professional, will be considered. Compiled by J.P. Hoornstra, Daily
