Wooden: A Lifetime of Observations and Reflections On and Off the Court

“But, Coach Wooden, Times Have Changed!”

“There was a time when the vast majority would follow blindly, even into the shadow of death, but such is not the case now. Young people of today are far more aware, inclined to be more openly critical and more genuinely inquisitive than they used to be. So leaders must work with them somewhat differently.”

I wrote the preceding observation more than a quarter of a century ago.

Are people really that different today? Have times changed so much? I wonder about that.
