http://articles.philly.com/2011-11-20/news/30422142_1_walt-hazzard-wooden-s-bruins-bruin-basketball-fans


from the article:

"Walt Hazzard, 69, the slick point guard who was a significant part of basketball dynasties at Overbrook High School and UCLA as well as an NBA star and coach of the Bruins in the 1980s, died Friday at Ronald Reagan Medical Center in Los Angeles after a long illness.

 A West Philadelphia native, Mr. Hazzard was a key player on one of the best teams in Philadelphia scholastic history. As a junior, his 1959 Overbrook team, which also featured Wali Jones and Ralph Heyward, won the city championship after capturing 66 of its previous 68 games. In his three varsity years there, Overbrook went 89-3.

He also was a star on John Wooden's first NCAA championship team at UCLA in 1964. Mr. Hazzard averaged 18.6 points as the Bruins' senior point guard. With backcourt mate Gail Goodrich, Mr. Hazzard was part of one of the most dynamic guard tandems in college history.
