  • Pictured Aboved Are Two of UCLA's Greatest Basketball Figures – on The
    Pictured aboved are two of UCLA’s greatest basketball figures – on the left, Lew Alcindor (now Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) alongside the late head coach John R. Wooden. Alcindor helped lead UCLA to consecutive NCAA Championships in 1967, 1968 and 1969. Coach Wooden served as the Bruins’ head coach from 1948-1975, helping UCLA win 10 NCAA Championships in his 24 years at the helm. 111 RETIRED JERSEY NUMBERS #25 GAIL GOODRICH Ceremony: Dec. 18, 2004 (Pauley Pavilion) When UCLA hosted Michigan on Dec. 18, 2004, Gail Goodrich has his No. 25 jersey number retired, becoming the school’s seventh men’s basketball player to achieve the honor. A member of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, Goodrich helped lead UCLA to its first two NCAA championships (1964, 1965). Notes on Gail Goodrich A three-year letterman (1963-65) under John Wooden, Goodrich was the leading scorer on UCLA’s first two NCAA Championship teams (1964, 1965) … as a senior co-captain (with Keith Erickson) and All-America selection in 1965, he averaged a team-leading 24.8 points … in the 1965 NCAA championship, his then-title game record 42 points led No. 2 UCLA to an 87-66 victory over No. 1 Michigan … as a junior, with backcourt teammate and senior Walt Hazzard, Goodrich was the leading scorer (21.5 ppg) on a team that recorded the school’s first perfect 30-0 record and first-ever NCAA title … a two-time NCAA Final Four All-Tournament team selection (1964, 1965) … finished his career as UCLA’s all-time leader scorer (1,690 points, now No.

    UCLA UCLA Public Law & Legal Theory Series Title The Common Law of Pauley Pavilion: Property in Public Places Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/95z4k6v0 Author Graham, Kenneth Publication Date 2017 eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California The Common Law of Pauley Pavilion: Property in Public Places?1 By Kenneth Graham.2 You might call this a "participant-observer study"---but it did not start out that way. After Pauley Pavilion (a.k.a., "The Teapot Dome") opened in the early 1960's, folks were allowed to use the courts for pick-up basketball games.3 I began to skip lunch in the Faculty Center and get some exercise in hopes of shedding some post-tenure fat I had accumulated. Pick-up basketball games4 face two inter-related problems: (1) how to allocate space-time on the courts; and (2) how to deal with the absence of referees. At Pauley, an elaborate set of rules emerged. Allocation of space-time The first group to reach the court could play the first game against the second team to arrive. Of course, players arrived as individuals, not teams. So the first player to arrive got to play the first game. The next person to arrive joined the team of the first person, but if he5 did not wish to join that team but to form his own, he could simply call out "winners." He could then choose either to play against the first person's team or play the next game.6 Unless not enough people showed up, teams had to have four members.
