John Wooden\'s \"Fascism\"
After a year in which they had won every game they played, Bill Walton reported to UCLA's first practice the next year looking like he hadn't had a haircut since the previous year's championship game. Probably he hadn't.
Coach Wooden told him to get off the floor. Walton told him he had no right to tell him how to wear his hair. Wooden told Walton, yes, you're absolutely right. But I do have a right to decide who is going to play on this basketball team, and Bill, we're gonna miss you an awful lot.
Walton got on his bike, raced into town, got a haircut, and raced back.
