00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:06,920
John Wooden was perhaps the 
greatest basketball coach of all

2
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:10,120
time. 
He was the head coach of UCLA 

3
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:14,200
and he won them 10 national 
championships in 12 years, and 

4
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:17,480
during that period he even won 
88 straight games. 

5
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:22,760
A few years ago, John Wooden was
asked to give his opinion of the

6
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:26,240
former Indiana basketball coach 
Bobby Knight in a critical way. 

7
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,360
Now, if you don't know anything 
about Bobby Knight, he was 

8
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,440
equally as great as John Wooden,
but much more volatile. 

9
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,400
Here's what Coach Wooden said of
Bobby Knight. 

10
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,840
I believe Bob Knight to be an 
outstanding teacher of the game 

11
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,000
of basketball. 
I don't approve of his methods, 

12
00:00:45,480 --> 00:00:48,480
but I'm not a judge and I'm not 
judging Bobby Knight. 

13
00:00:50,160 --> 00:00:55,000
There's so much bad in the best 
of us, and so much good in the 

14
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,240
worst of us, it hardly behooves 
me to talk about the rest of us.

15
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,160
In the book of Proverbs. 
They say it like this. 

16
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:10,320
Thoughtless words can wound as 
deeply as any sword, but wisely 

17
00:01:10,320 --> 00:01:15,600
spoken words can heal. 
The apostle James says these 

18
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,720
true words. 
If he does not control his 

19
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:22,720
tongue, his religion is 
worthless and he deceives 

20
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:29,520
himself. 
The words of Coach Wooden are 

21
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:33,480
true. 
There's so much bad in the best 

22
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:39,240
of us and so much good in the 
worst of us, it hardly behooves 

23
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:46,520
me to talk about the rest of us.
This has been everyday miracles 

24
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,800
by hope, mindfulness and prayer.
