Probably the biggest name in the history of College Basketball in America who was also an All American as a player at Purdue before he coached UCLA.
The players he coached are amongst a who's who of basketball royalty including Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bill Walton and Jamaal Wilkes.

He holds several coaching records that will almost certainly never be broken including:

88 consecutive victories (about 3 seasons worth)
38 consecutive victories in the NCAA tournament
10 national championships.
