Product Description
While the Vietnam War, the Civil Rights movement and political scandal were consuming the nation, a basketball legacy grew in southern California. Led by coach John Wooden, the UCLA Bruins amassed an unprecedented ten NCAA titles in the 12 season from 1964-1975, setting a standard of excellence and consistency in a volatile country. Capturing the spirit of the era through the comments of former team members, student, commentators, and coach Wooden himself, along with archival footage, THE UCLA SYNASTY sheds light on the advent of the college basketball craze. The UCLS juggernaut triggered unprecedented national interest in the sport and the NCAA tournament grew at a pace never before seen.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL AT IT'S BEST ! May 19, 2008
Every college basketball fan should see this video! Regardless of whether or not you are a UCLA fan, this video covers what may have been the "Wonder age" of the college game. In addition it of course highlights the magnificant career and teaching abilities of John Wooden.
UCLA, Wooden, and the 60s and 70s April 7, 2008
Remarkable for its frankness and placing this legendary dynasty in the social, historical context-- Vietnam, political protests, and racial strife. UCLA teams were a part of the times and apart from them at the same time. It is first and foremost about basketball, but it is also about modern American history and about the Coach, John Wooden, who lived through it all. The UCLA Dynasty is an entertaining you-are-there civic lesson and personal accounts of victory and loss. I've given it to my teen-age grandchildren to learn about life.
Simply Amazing April 6, 2008
If you lived during this era or only read about it, you will be amazed at the story told about the UCLA Dynasty. Truly remarkable subject matter given a first rate production. Definitely a must for all fans of the game!
Awesome basketball documentary! March 8, 2008
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
I had a chance to view this program on HBO television last year and i must say it is as about as informative of the UCLA basketball program as you can possibly get. John Wooden created something really special back in the 60's all the way through the mid 70's decade. And in doing so, he cemented his legacy for many years to come. And in the process producing some of the finest players in the history of the game in doing so. I highly recommend this dvd documentary for any true basketball fan. I know for a fact that i will be copping it for my extensive hoop collection. I've always found the UCLA basketball program to be somewhat intriguing.
