The Insider’s View
A
fter a dinner, which included a
healthy portion of sautééed spinach
(bad timing), I had a dream: we won
every game, 100% of our athletes
graduated, there were no injuries, every
seat was sold, LA housing prices dropped,
and gasoline was down to $2.00 a gallon.
OK, it was the spinach. Things don’t always
go the way we’d like, no matter the
preparation, effort, execution or desire. That’s life — that’s sports. And while I like what
we do and how we do it almost all the time, on rare occasions things don’t work out as
planned. Sometimes, with student-athletes, performance expectations are so high that
realism and patience take a back seat to ambition. The intercollegiate athletic enterprise
recognizes this fact, and that such feelings and predicaments are not necessarily
inappropriate or without cause. As such, avenues are provided for alteration.
It’s not the situation a coach wishes for — a recruited athlete who wishes to transfer
— but it happens. In the case of scholarship athletes in selected sports, the NCAA
transfer rules are tight. A recruited football, men’s hockey, or basketball player (man or
woman) will sit out a year upon transferring. Other sports have a bit more flexibility, due
to, what is commonly referred to in our business as, the “one-time” transfer rule. Here’s
a typical scenario for a Division 1A basketball transfer:
• The student-athlete informs the coach about the desire to transfer and requests a
release. This is a letter from UCLA to another school granting permission to contact
the athlete. All standard recruiting rules apply, including limits on phone calls, official
visits, timing, etc. On some occasions, the other school will become aware of the
athlete’s desire to transfer and may contact UCLA directly for the release letter.
• Once the athlete has decided where to go, that school may issue the student-athlete
a grant-in-aid contract. There is no second letter-of-intent.
• Because the student-athlete was recruited and/or on athletic aid, he must sit out for
a year. If a red-shirt year had already been used, the player will lose a year of
eligibility in that sport.
For all other sports, the transferring athlete can request use of the one-time
transfer rule, and if the original school grants the release under this NCAA Bylaw
(and all other criteria is met,) there is no requirement to sit for a year.
• To utilize the one-time transfer rule, the athlete must be in good academic standing,
which means he or she would have been eligible had they stayed, had completed
all satisfactory progress requirements while at UCLA, AND they must not have
previously transferred from a four-year institution.
• If a football, basketball, or ice-hockey player was not recruited and never received
ANY athletically-related financial aid (a true walk-on), that person is also eligible for
the one-time transfer provision.
• If the original institution does not grant the release (for basketball, football or
hockey), or the one-time exception for all other sports, the student-athlete may
request an appeal hearing to determine why and to plead their case for it being
granted. The “jury” in such appeals cases is typically made up of professors and
non-athletic department administrators.
Intra-conference transferring within the PAC-10 Conference, trips another set of rules.
• If a current student-athlete at another PAC-10 school wishes to become a Bruin, was
granted the one-time exception, was in good academic standing, and was never on
athletic or institutional aid, he/she does not have to sit a year. But if that athlete was
on athletic related aid or was recruited and on need-based aid, they may have to sit
for TWO years unless the Pac-10 Conference approves a reduction.
Over the years, UCLA has benefited from the contributions of student-athletes who
have transferred and other schools have, likewise, benefited from former Bruin studentathletes who have moved elsewhere for a greater opportunity to contribute. Believe it or
not, students sometimes change their minds and over the course of an academic year
we are bound to see some transfer movement as described above.
The NCAA membership is continually evaluating these transfer rules especially in light
of the mandates of the new academic reform movement. Consider the implications on
an institution that loses several student-athletes over the course of a year, not only from
a competitive standpoint, but also from a “retention” standpoint. The loss of too many
scholarship athletes can adversely affect the APR (Academic Performance Rating), which
could ultimately result in a loss of scholarship opportunities for a given program. On the
other hand, one must always keep the issue of student-athlete welfare in mind...what is
in their best interests?
This situation is just another concern that requires our most vigilant attention.
Hope to see you soon at a fall sporting event.
Go Bruins.

From the Editor:
This month’s edition of Bruin Blue features our first ever cartoon. Many thanks are
offered to Cesar Vargas for animating an ordinary—yet necessary—Booster Letter.
Two weeks from the deadline, Cesar took a plain letter and brought to life a tabloid
page that grabbed your attention. Our intent was to persuade you to read it and Cesar
deserves the credit for this creativity.
A former Bruin’s child is in trouble and needs our help. Tae Butler, the nine-year old
daughter of Mitchell and Dana Butler, is fighting AML Leukemia at UCLA Mattel Children’s
Hospital. Tae needs donated blood and platelets in plentiful quantities, as she will be
fighting this challenge for the long haul. To give blood or platelets, please call Jaime Rivas
(310-206-6167) at the UCLA Blood and Platelets Center. Being the typical fourth-grader,
Tae also would appreciate cards, letters, DVDs and CDs. For Tae’s contact information
please inquire at [email protected].
Go Bruins!

Ucla Athletics
HALL OF FAME
Eight new members were inducted into the UCLA Athletics Hall of Fame on Friday, Oct. 6.
Invitation-only ceremonies were held in the Hall of Fame, located in the J.D. Morgan
Intercollegiate Athletics Center, and in Covel Commons. The new inductees were also
introduced during halftime of the Oct. 7 UCLA-Arizona football game at the Rose Bowl. The
new inductees are:
Carol Bower, Rowing
Bower has been called the greatest all-around women’s crew athlete in UCLA history (1978-79).
A bronze medalist in the 1979 World Championships, Bower joined the U.S. National Team in
1980. She was a three-time World Champion Silver Medalist (1981-83) and took home the gold
medal in the eights during the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. Carol was selected
Oarswoman of the Year in 1982 by the United States Olympic Committee and was inducted in
the Rowing Hall of Fame in 1984. Bower graduated from UCLA in 1979 and served as the head
coach of the University of Pennsylvania’s Women’s Rowing program from 1987-1996. She is
currently the head crew coach at Bryn Mawr College
Herb Flam, Tennis
Flam was UCLA’s top tennis player in 1947-48-49-50. In 1950, as co-captain with Glenn Bassett,
who would later become UCLA’s head coach, Flam led UCLA to its first-ever NCAA team
championship. He also became the first UCLA tennis player to capture individual NCAA titles
in singles and doubles (with Gene Garrett) in the same year. The 1950 team opened the door
for Bruin tennis teams, which won five NCAA titles between 1950 and 1956, and ultimately
established the UCLA program as No. 1 in the United States. Over several years, Flam was one
of the nation’s stars in an era when most Davis Cup team members and top international
players came from the intercollegiate ranks. From 1951-57, Flam was ranked in the world’s Top
10 four times. In all, Flam made the singles quarterfinals at Wimbledon on three occasions and
the U.S. Open six times. He was inducted into the Collegiate Tennis Hall of Fame in 1987.

2006 INDUCTEES
Monte Nitzkowski, Swimming and Water Polo
Nitzkowski swam and played water polo for the Bruins in 1950 and 1951 after transferring from
Fullerton Junior College. He won the Bob Starr Memorial Trophy as the outstanding Bruin
swimmer in 1951. He was a two-time Southern Division breaststroke champion at 200 yards and
held the PCC record at 2:22.4 while also owning the Bruin record in the 100-yard breaststroke.
Nitzkowski had a record of 22 wins in 24 in dual meet starts while at UCLA, and was the first
Bruin ever to compete in the NCAA meet twice, earning All-America honors. Nitzkowski was a
member of the U.S. Olympic team in 1952 in the 200-meter breaststroke. In water polo,
Nitzkowski was named first-team all Southern Division in 1951. He has become one of the
world’s foremost water polo authorities. From 1954-89, he coached Long Beach City College to
32 conference water polo championships and 12 conference swim titles. Nitzkowski also served
as U.S. National Team Water Polo coach from 1967-1984 and coached the U.S. team in four
Olympiads, including bronze in 1972 and silver in 1984. Nitzkowski was a 1991 selection to the
International Swimming Hall of Fame and is a member of the U.S. Water Polo Hall of Fame.
Jonathan Ogden, Football and Track and Field
Arguably, the finest offensive lineman in UCLA football history, Ogden was a four-year starter at
offensive tackle from 1992-95. In 1992 he was named first-team Freshman All-American and
followed that up as a second-team Sophomore All-American. As a junior, Ogden was named
All-Pac-10 and third-team All-American. As a senior in 1995, Ogden received a myriad of honors
including the Outland Trophy as the top interior lineman in the nation (UCLA’s first ever),
unanimous first-team All-America and first-team All Pac-10 honors, the Morris Trophy, UPI
Lineman of the Year, Lombardi Trophy runner-up and Co-UCLA offensive MVP. He was the
cornerstone of UCLA’s offensive line, which led to the Bruins’ highest rushing average since
1967 at 4.7 yards per carry. In 1997 Ogden became the eighth Bruin to have his jersey retired.
Ogden was the fourth overall selection in the first round of the 1996 NFL Draft by Baltimore. He
was named to the NFL All-Rookie team and has since been named to eight consecutive Pro
Bowls and All-Pro teams. Ogden remains one of the best and most dominating linemen in the
NFL. He helped lead Baltimore to the 2001 Super Bowl title and was named NFL Alumni
Offensive Lineman of the Year in 2002. While at UCLA, Ogden was also a strong thrower on the
UCLA track and field team, winning the 1996 NCAA indoor shot put title. Ogden also finished
fourth in the 1995 NCAA outdoor championships and fifth in both the 1994 and ’95 NCAA Indoor
Championships.
Annette Salmeen, Swimming
The epitome of a student-athlete, Salmeen was a four-year All-America swimmer from 199396, a four-year Academic All-American and the first UCLA female swimmer to capture an NCAA
individual title when she won the 200 butterfly in 1996 in 1:55:84. During that magical 1996
senior campaign, Salmeen won Pac-10 titles in the 100m and 200m butterfly, and was named
UCLA’s Female Athlete of the Year and the Alumni Association Outstanding Senior. She also
received the NCAA Top Eight Award, presented to only eight NCAA student-athletes annually
for excellence in academics and athletics. In addition, Salmeen was an NCAA Woman of the
Year finalist, received an NCAA post-graduate scholarship and was named a Rhodes Scholar
(UCLA’s eighth student ever and first since 1973). During her Bruin career, she was a two-time
team MVP, named the team’s hardest worker on three occasions, voted most inspirational
twice and graduated with UCLA records in the 200 butterfly, 200 free and 500 free. Salmeen
swam for the 1996 U.S. Olympic Team and captured a gold medal as a member of the 800m
freestyle relay team. Individually, she finished 12th in the 200m butterfly in the Olympics.
Salmeen graduated from UCLA with honors in Chemistry (3.94 GPA) in 1997 and completed
her Doctorate of Philosophy degree in biochemistry as a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford University
in 2001. She is currently conducting post-doctoral research in molecular pharmacology at
Stanford University Medical School.
Dennis Storer, Soccer and Rugby
Storer came to UCLA from Great Britain in 1966 and began an extraordinarily successful career as
a UCLA faculty member as well as the head coach of the men’s soccer and rugby programs. In
soccer, Dennis was named UCLA head coach after soccer was elevated to NCAA status in 1967.
Storer’s soccer teams compiled a remarkable 103-10-10 record while he was at the helm from
1967-73. Although the soccer team did not offer any scholarships, UCLA recorded three NCAA
runner-up finishes, three West Coast Championships and five All Cal titles. In rugby, Storer’s teams
compiled an outstanding 362-46-2 record against collegiate, major club and international teams
from 1966-1982 and captured three national championships (`68, `72 and `75). UCLA Rugby also
won 16 Southern California division championships. While at UCLA, Dennis also served as the U.S.
National Coach in rugby from 1976-82 and 14 of the first U.S. National Team players were Bruins.
Dennis has been widely recognized internationally as a coach and a great sportsman as well as for
his commitment to helping underprivileged youth. From 1968-82, Storer also served as Director
of UCLA’s National Youth Sports Programs and from 1982-84 he served as British Olympic
Association Executive Director and Attache in U.S.A. for the L.A. Olympics. Dennis was honored
by Queen Elizabeth II with an OBE in 1994 for services in British/American Education, Sport and
Commerce. He became a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1999.
John Vallely, Basketball
Vallely was a starting guard for two UCLA basketball national championship teams (1969-70),
playing for Coach John Wooden. A junior college transfer, Vallely became known as “Money
Man” for his play in big games. Against Drake in the 1969 NCAA semifinals, Vallely poured in
29 points to lead the Bruins to an 85-82 victory. Playing in consecutive Final Fours, Vallely
averaged 20.5 ppg and was named to the All-Final Four team on both occasions. In all, Vallely
averaged 13.8 ppg as a Bruin and was the 1969 free throw champion at 75.5%. Vallely was
drafted in the 1st round of the NBA Draft by the Atlanta Hawks and played two seasons. He
also competed in beach volleyball in 1969 and ‘70 and won a total of nine titles (seven with the
legendary Ron Von Hagen), including the prestigious 1969 Manhattan Beach Open.
Elaine Youngs, Volleyball and Basketball
Youngs was a four-year volleyball starter at outside hitter from 1988-92) and led the Bruins to
four Final Four appearances. By the end of her stellar career, she was one of only five female
volleyball players (now 12) to have been selected as four-time All-Americans. As a freshman in
1988, she was named All-Pac-10 and second-team All-American while becoming the first Bruin
to record over 400 kills (406). As a sophomore, she was named All-Pac-10 and first-team AllAmerican as she led the team in kill average. She also set an all-time Bruin record with 33 digs
against ASU. After red-shirting the 1990 season, Youngs returned for the 1991 campaign and
helped lead the Bruins to the national championship while being named All-Pac-10, secondteam All-American and NCAA All-Tournament. Her senior year, Youngs led the Bruins to the
NCAA championship match and was named All-Pac-10, first-team All-American and to the
NCAA All-Tournament Team. She finished the year ranked second in the Pac-10 and 10th in the
nation with a .389 hitting percentage. Youngs concluded her career ranked fourth on UCLA’s
career charts for kills, digs and service aces and seventh in blocks. She went on to play for the
U.S. National Team from 1993-97, including the 1994 World Championships and 1996 Olympics.
She has also been a very successful player on the professional beach circuit, winning the 2002
AVP Pro Beach Volleyball Women’s Player of the Year. In 2004, Youngs competed in her second
Olympics and won a bronze medal in Beach Volleyball with partner Holly McPeak. Youngs also

Bruin Blue LUC RICHARD MBAH A MOUTE• MEN’S BASKETBALL
BY STEPHANIE SAMPSON,
UCLA SPORTS INFORMATION ASSISTANT
Luc Richard Mbah a Moute began his career at UCLA in grand fashion last season as he was named the Pac-10 Freshman of the Year
and helped the Bruins reach the NCAA Championship game. With a year under his belt in beautiful Southern California, this
Cameroonian native is eager and ready showcase his and UCLA's talents this season. With his eyes set on another Pac-10 title and
NCAA title run, the sophomore reflects on his first year in Westwood.
Bruin Blue: You have been at UCLA for just over a year now. What has it meant to
be a Bruin?
Luc Richard Mbah a Moute: It means a lot. You never know how it is until you get
to try it out. This last year gave me a good feel of it and helped me know I made the
right decision when I chose to come here. We had a successful year in hoops and
at the same time, I got to have a year of the full college experience: going to class,
socializing and so on. I couldn’t have asked for a better situation.
BB: What was your favorite part of your first year at UCLA?
Luc: Definitely going to the Final Four. The experience of it all was amazing. It’s so
special because so many people play hoops and never get that chance to play in the
final game, and I got to my freshman year. It’s real special to me although the
outcome wasn’t how I wanted it to end, it was still very special.
BB: Any regrets after your first year at UCLA?
Luc: My only regret is that we lost in the NCAA Final to Florida. That was disappointing,
but other then that, I had a pretty good freshman year on and off the court.
BB: Now that you’ve been in LA for a year, how do you feel about living here?
Luc: I thought it would be real big and crazy, but I realized it wasn’t like that. I spent
most of my time in Westwood because I was busy with basketball and school, so I
didn’t get to do much during the season.
BB: What’s your favorite part of living in LA?
Luc: My favorite things are probably the weather and just living here is great. You
can do whatever you want…… go to the movies, go to the beach, whatever. There’s
just always so much to do.
BB: What have you been doing during the summer?
Luc: I’ve been going to summer school and have been
working out, trying to improve my game for this
season. I’ve also been hanging out with friends and
family, going to the beach and the movies.
BB: Last year you were the top freshman in the
league. What should fans expect from you this
season?
Luc: I don’t know what they expect, but I expect to get better
offensively and defensively. If I get better, my team will get
better. It will help us, and I just want to improve on what I did last
year.
BB: How did it feel to see so many fans wearing the “Cameroon
Crazies” shirts during basketball season?
Luc: It felt really good to see so much support for me and Alfred (Aboya).
That’s one of the big reasons I came to UCLA. There is so much support and
the fans do stuff like that. It kind of spoils you, but it feels great. We didn’t
grow up having this kind of support, so it definitely gives you a boost.
BB: What can the fans expect from the team this season?
Luc: It’s the same thing every year…… Try to go to the NCAA Tournament and
win it all. It’s definitely going to take focusing on one game at a time, but we can
do it. We got better as the year went on last season and with the freshman coming
in and the guys on the team now, it’s going to be a very exciting year.

Bruin Blue NOELLE QUINN • SENIOR • WOMEN’S BASKETBALL
BY GINA ALBERT,
UCLA SPORTS INFORMATION STUDENT ASSISTANT
UCLA Women’s Basketball All-American Noelle Quinn is returning for the 2006-2007 season as the team’s leading scorer and rebounder. She has recently
been selected as one of 25 athletes named to the “Wade Watch” list for Division I Women’s Basketball Player of the Year. Following last year’s remarkable
average of 18 points and 8 rebounds per game, she hopes to continue her success this season while stepping into a major leadership position. With six
newcomers added to the team this season, Quinn explains that their goals have not changed and they are still striving to win both the NCAA and Pac 10 titles.
Bruin Blue: You’re a senior this year; describe
your experience playing UCLA basketball.
Who have been your role models?
Noelle Quinn: It’s always been a dream
of mine to come here, so I’ve enjoyed
every year. I don’t have any regrets
about my decision. So many people
have helped along the way. My mom is a very
big inspiration for me, so anything I do is all for her
and about her. She’s done so much for me. I’d say
that’s my biggest inspiration. It’s just that the
people around here, from the administration to the
band, to the fans, everyone is just so positive, and
it’s like a family environment. My experience has
been great, and I’m glad that I’m a Bruin.
BB: What are your outlooks for the 2006-2007
season? What changes need to be made now that
several key players have graduated?
Quinn: It’s a totally different team than last year because
we’ve lost some great leadership and some great players,
but I think that change is always good. It’s going to be a
different team, but with that in mind we’re still going to do
the same things. We still have the same goal, to do well in
the Pac-10 Tournament. Our goals never change even though
our personnel is different. We’re still going to come out and
play hard every night and just give it our best.
BB: For the last three years you have been part of the “Triple Threat” with Nikki
Blue and Lisa Willis. How do you plan on adjusting to being the “go-to player” on
the team?
Quinn: It’s so different, I miss them already. I miss everything in practice; they were my
girls. It’s going to be different, but at the same time, this has happened before. In high
school, we lost key players and so it was kind of like I was the go-to player. It’s just kind
of like reliving the past. I have to step into the role. I’ve grown now, I’m 21 years old, so I
just have to grow up and be a leader for this team.
6 • BRUIN BLUE • OCTOBER 2006
BB: Nikki Blue has been the starting point guard for the past few years. Now that she has graduated,
are you expected to play this position? If so, do you feel comfortable with playing the position?
Quinn: Everyone has been asking me that, and I might, but it’s not official yet. We have to see with
practices who will step into that role. As far as leadership, I have to take that responsibility because
I probably will have the ball a lot. I don’t know, we’ll probably switch up our offense a little bit and
adjust it so that it is not just point guard-oriented.
BB: There are several incoming freshmen on this year’s team. Being a veteran, what advice do you
have for them?
Quinn: For the freshmen, they just have to realize that they can’t come in doing too much. Of course
they’re expected to come and contribute, but as freshmen it’s different because college is totally
different from high school. You’re playing with grown women as opposed to 15 year-olds, so that’s
already an adjustment. Everyone is quicker and stronger. There was a point in my freshman year that
I just hit a wall just because everything was very overwhelming. For them, I would just say come in
and do what they do. Don’t try to over-do anything. Contribute what you can. If you’re a shooter,
come in and shoot. Don’t try to do too much and we’ll be okay.
BB: Last year, the team won the Pac-10 tournament title. How do you think that will affect this
year’s performance?
Quinn: Our expectations are already very high. Since we won last year, people are going to want us
to win again, but we just have to realize that we’re not the same team, yet we have the same goals.
So we’re going to try to get back to where we were last year. It’s going to be hard, but we just have
to stick together and do it.
BB: You are expected to be chosen very early in the WNBA draft. What teams are among your top
preferences?
Quinn: The best situation for me would be to stay here because I’m an L.A. girl. I haven’t gone
anywhere in my life, but I don’t know how likely that is now. I’m just blessed to be in the position that
I’m going to go to the WNBA. So whichever team I go to would be great.
BB: Do you wish to pursue a career in the area of your UCLA degree after your basketball career?
Quinn: My major is sociology. I just want to graduate with the degree. I’m really into real estate. So
hopefully one day I can get into that. I’m just trying to get my degree and possibly pursue my
basketball career.

BRUINS IN THE
REAL WORLD:
WILLIE NAULLS (UCLA ’78)
Bruin Blue: Give an account of your life after UCLA.
You have given back to the community in many ways.
As you look back, what was the turning point?
[Willie Naulls was drafted in the second round of the
1956 NBA Draft by St. Louis and played one season there before moving on to New York to play
for the Knicks for seven seasons. He also played three seasons for the Boston Celtics.]
Willie Naulls: As a member of the NBA’s New York Knicks, I was honored to be the first
African-American team captain in integrated professional sports while earning four All-Star
berths. I ended my 10-year professional career as a three-time World Champion with the Boston
Celtics, which introduced the first all-African- American starting team in the history of integrated
professional sports, under Coach Red Auerbach.
After retiring, I spent a short period of time as a volunteer coach under Coach Wooden,
learning in the process that coaching was not for me. Coach reminded me at that time that
coaching was about living a life’s example before the players and using my mental acumen
instead of my physical abilities. Thereafter I launched an entrepreneurial career, developing
several enterprises including take-out restaurants; a shopping center; companies specializing in
professional contract negotiation and financial management, executive search, executive gifts,
and residential and commercial real estate development; a bank; a thrift and loan company; an
automobile dealership; and a non-profit youth training and development organization.
In the midst of my entrepreneurial pursuits, I experienced an epiphany with God. He called
me to ministry.
That awesome experience became the motivating moment for me to explore my purpose here
on earth. Following years of individual study and formal training, culminating in a Master’s Degree
in Theology from Fuller Seminary in Pasadena, I founded a Christian-based missionary ministry
(Willie Naulls Ministries), a non-denominational church (The Church of Common Ground), and,
most recently, Rising Stars Sports Ministry, which focuses on better preparing young people of
all races through spiritual, academic and athletic leadership training and development with the
result of maturing them to live in God’s purpose as they prosper to serve others.
I am married to UCLA School of Medicine graduate Dr. Anne Van de Water Naulls, Ob/Gyn.
Our four children include Lisa, a professional singer and graduate of Stanford University and the
UCLA Graduate School of Music, and mother of one child; Shannon, a UCLA-educated
computer professional who is married with two children; Jonah, a former UCLA studentathlete, currently successful in the entertainment industry, married with one child; and Malaika,
a University of Florida graduate in Advertising and Business Management, currently a student
in the University of Texas joint program in the schools of Law and Business. Anne put her
medical career on hold to be a wife and mother, and to be available to our children as we
stressed their educational, personal and spiritual growth.
The main factors contributing to my success have been, first, the wisdom of my parents in
seeing that I received a disciplined Christian upbringing and the best education available and,
second, my good fortune in having achieved a high and rare degree of success in athletics.
As an adult, I can reflect back on those factors and realize how blessed I was to escape the
perpetuation of mediocrity foisted upon most African-American people. Even though I have had
the opportunity of meeting and associating with the “elite” of our society, I have always
understood that my successes were a deviation from the norm, and I have never stopped
agonizing over the plight of those underprivileged young people who make up the norm.
The insecurities that I felt while growing up in a disadvantaged community I have never
forgotten. These memories have influenced directly my life’s commitment to serve young
people of all ethnic backgrounds who would commit themselves to the pursuit of knowledge
and excellence. I was taught very early in my life by my parents the value of a positive attitude
about working toward becoming the best that I could be. Our young people are our most
valuable resource, and my life’s goal is to bring together prepared and committed adults who
will share their knowledge with youth who will commit themselves to preparing to become
positive and productive members of our society.
BB: Please discuss your parents’ wisdom in your upbringing and how success in athletics
mapped your life’s course.
Naulls: The summation of my mother’s teaching was to assess every person’s intent when I
encountered them. The question to ask was, “Do you wish me well?” In Dallas, the [prevailing]
attitude was that they didn’t wish me well, so Mom gave me “lessons” to live by which were
invaluable when we moved from a Black community in Dallas to a [predominantly] white
community in San Pedro.
Mom’s Lessons
© 2004 William D. Naulls
William:
Obedience to God is required
Judgment by skin color is not of Him inspired
Know right from wrong – and just do it
Do good and not evil; be strong – pursue it
Your actions are no better than anyone can see
and nobody is better than you can be
8 • BRUIN BLUE • OCTOBER 2006
A three-year starter for the Bruins from 1954-56, Willie Naulls established UCLA’s tradition
of great centers. He served as the Bruins’ captain in 1956 when they compiled a 22-6
record and won the conference title with a 16-0 record. That season Naulls earned
consensus All-America honors as the Bruins advanced to the NCAA West Regional before
losing to eventual NCAA champion San Francisco. Naulls led the Bruins in rebounding for
three straight seasons and in scoring as a senior. He later enjoyed a 10-year professional
basketball career. Bruin Blue caught up with Naulls, still mobile at age 72, in his birthplace
of Dallas, and he was gracious enough to grant an interview.
so don’t let what’s around to see
entice you to become whom God didn’t create you to be
Use your mind to stand against wrong’s wooing
Think before you act in unwise doing
Don’t be ashamed to say, “I don’t know”
Wisdom is summoned when your mind wants to grow
Tell me when evil does approach
to violate my teaching, your soul to broach
going beyond the boundary of appropriate action
to violate your person for their satisfaction
Care for yourself and your personal hygiene
live by the Standard of our Lord Supreme
Study in school; observe the Word of Faith’s test
Compete with yourself alone to be God’s Best
These very principles are those by which we raised our children and those I teach to young
people today.
BB: You played college basketball for one of the greatest coaches in collegiate history. What
are some of your favorite memories playing for Coach Wooden?
Naulls: The Christmas Holiday season of my sophomore year [1953] found me, at the age of
19, boarding an airplane at the Los Angeles Airport, destination Lexington, Kentucky. Our team
was a traveling group of about 12 players; Coach Wooden; one assistant; our trainer, Ducky
Drake; and one manager. Our mission, as I found out later, was not only to win the University of
Kentucky Invitational Holiday Basketball Tournament, but also to integrate Lexington and its
hotel, movie theater and basketball pavilion.
The man in charge of the Kentucky Wildcats was the legendary Adolph Rupp. These are some
firsts worth noting, because diversity is more than just a word of political passion. It is lives
thrust into meaningful pursuits, cutting away at the core of separation’s intent.
From the airport in Lexington, we were bussed together to the hotel downtown where we
would be staying. What’s the big deal? Well, Johnny Moore (another black player) and I sat at
the front of the bus in Lexington, Kentucky, and in front of all our teammates. Coach and Ducky
sat in the front seats on the other side of the [aisle]. Johnny and I hadn’t planned it that way, but
the front seat simply had more leg room and we boarded the bus first. Two African-Americans
sitting in the first row of an integrated bus in Lexington, KY was a landmark occurrence. No big
deal nowadays; nevertheless, a first. The bus driver attempted an intimidating expression. We
ignored him.
We all stayed together in the Lexington Hotel, a first in that town. Management would not let
the spirit of integration sleep in their rooms, so we were relegated to the basement’s boiler
room on little cots. I watched my teammates as they made jokes about the accommodations,
but never complained. The humiliation was borne by each of us – black and white together. We
took turns showering and ate together in a special banquet room. Another first in Lexington,
Kentucky.
We went to their movie theater and sat together – a first in that little college town. Coach was
there beside us.
We played as an integrated team in their basketball arena which was later renamed in honor
of Coach Rupp.
The post-tournament awards banquet was integrated for the first time as I sat next to Frank
Ramsey of Kentucky. He reminded me later when we were Celtics teammates what a fool I had
made of myself at the banquet that night. In the midst of hunger lust, I threw a whole spoonful
of horseradish down my throat on a piece of roast beef. He and a few of the local players
laughed as I gasped for relief, screaming, “What in the world was that? You folks trying to kill
me?” Frank said, in his very high-pitched southern drawl, “Naw, Willie, I think you’re doing a
pretty good job of that yourself.”
In Lexington, where we were breaking barriers that none of us players were aware of until
later, this big, slow, tree-trunk-legged player from, I believe, Duke University – in doing the
correct thing by talking to his teammates aloud about defensive assignments, but in a voice loud
enough to be heard several rows up in the stands – yelled, “I got this ‘n_ _ _ _ _’ over here.”
Now, my mother had taught me that [I] should never lose self-control over what someone else
says. So as I positioned myself in a basketball forward’s mentality, I looked into his eyes and
perceived that his verbally demeaning declaration was a comfortable part of his vernacular. He
appeared never to suspect that his words would evoke in me a rage to be taken out on him the
next time I got my hands on the basketball – but within the rules of the game, of course.
I came into the game during its latter stages when winning was up for the taking. It was
one of those plays people make movies about. Facing the basket without the ball, I took four
quick steps in toward the baseline, faked, and reversed quickly back to receive the pass from
my teammate. Offense-minded players like me love situations like this because the defensive
player is most vulnerable—lunging toward you in a desperate attempt to get back to where he
should have been. This guy looked as though he were coming up in slow motion. His facial
expression changed from false tenacity to horror as, with ball in hand, I faked to my left, and his
knees locked in place. As I went past him, my left elbow shot out, plunging deep into the area
where the jaw meets the neck. His head was hanging like a yo-yo from his body in lack of
coordination as I banked the ball off the
backboard and into the basket, putting us
up by two points.
He came yelling down the court
pointing to the referees, then pointing and
coming toward me. The game was
stopped because he was bleeding, and I
was relieved. Timeout was called. I sat
there looking up at Coach as he glared
into my eyes, searching for a hint of guilt.
A referee walked by, looked at me and
said something to Coach. I shrugged my
shoulders as if I were innocent until
proven guilty. In those days instant replay
cameras were not used or I would have
been ejected. But the whistle blew and
Coach left me in the mix.
The game was still up for grabs and the
two of us were still guarding each other. It
is amazing how a well-placed elbow,
within the rules of the game, will expose a
coward. This guy would not even look me
in the eyes and stayed at a distance the
rest of the game.
In retrospect, I think Coach Wooden had
gained confidence in my self-control [one]
day in practice when a starting teammate
intentionally sunk his elbow into my
stomach. He had been threatened by the
thought that I might replace him in the
starting lineup and took his frustration and
insecurity
out
on
my
stomach.
Momentarily, he took my breath away, but
my response to his loss of control
impressed Coach enough to grant me his
starting position. I was rewarded for not retaliating in kind as I did on that pathetic Duke warrior. Johnny
Moore and I talked about those Duke University players later, on the way home. He had similar experiences
as the object of racially insulting references.
body that has [been] bestowed upon us. I enjoy writing – both prose and poetry as well
as publishing weekly and monthly newsletters, and teaching Bible classes. I enjoy
watching sporting events, specifically UCLA basketball and football, NCAA basketball’s
March Madness, the NBA and NFL playoffs, and professional baseball’s league and world
championship series. I like walking with my wife every day and have spent most of my
life working at being man enough for one woman – my wife, Anne.

BB: How do you motivate today’s youth, who may not have caring or involved parents or the benefits
of athletic opportunities?
Naulls: As I’ve mentioned throughout, the source of my instruction about how to live was my mother.
She taught when I wanted to learn and could benefit to grow. Her lessons empowered my decisions and
molded me into whatever I chose to become. When people who were entrusted with my care did
something in my presence contrary to her teachings or attempted to lure me into doing something
contrary to what she had taught me, I was empowered to make the choice to do what I knew was right.
Standing firm I could make a decision, which would honor a lesson that she had taught me to know would
be in my best interest. In other words, Bettie A. Naulls’ children knew how to act when she was not around.
The institution of racism imposed fear on all African-Americans. Fear is a powerful influence. It is
impressive to say, “There is nothing to fear but fear itself,” but more meaningful to children when a parent
or guardian is the vanguard of his or her child’s fears from birth and on through the developmental years.
The responsibility of presence to consistently walk with and before and behind one’s own child promotes
healthy, stress-free, question-answering developing years of the child, when he or she needs it, whether
the child is aware of the need or not.
My primary commitment to motivating youth is to serve them as my mother served me. She gave me a
standard to live by which comes from a traceable source, the Bible. That source is applicable for any child,
no matter what his circumstances.
“ ... seeing is not believing. Believing is seeing,” said
Rosey Grier.
BB: As a minister, somewhere in your life you received a “calling.” Describe that epiphany.
Naulls: Some years after my retirement from the NBA, my friend Rosey Grier re-introduced me to the
spiritual/religious side of life that I had abandoned when I was a 17 year-old UCLA freshman. Standing at
the corner of Wilshire Boulevard and Beverly Drive after lunch, Rosey, an evangelist, looked into my eyes
and said, “Willie, you have been tremendously blessed and prosperous. You need to go to church with me
and develop a relationship with God.”
My office was one block [away], and I moved in that direction in an attempt to avoid the issue. He
reached out and stopped me and said, “I’m serious. You need to go to church with me and get your life
right with God.”
I responded, “I’m a businessman and the bottom line is that I don’t believe anything that I can’t see.”
He retorted, “That’s your biggest problem. Seeing is not believing. Believing is seeing.”
Those words opened up in me the possibility of pursuing a personal relationship with the God that my
mother had raised me to hear and to follow. I went to church with Rosey and soon committed my life to
the pursuit of trusting in and learning more about [the] purpose for my life. My pursuit of knowledge
included years of Bible study and every member of my family followed my lead.
One day, driving south on the 405 Freeway from Oxnard toward my new Ford dealership in Hawthorne,
a voice resounded from inside and outside of me, speaking forth:
“Get out of business and better prepare yourself to minister My Word and tell people what great
things I’ve done in your life.”
The experience was profound and life-changing. I thought, Who else but God would intrude into my life
with those instructions?
Ever since that day I have pursued a life in service as a minister. The specific vision of the ministry God
has entrusted to me, Rising Stars Sports Ministry, is to serve young athletes and their parents by assisting
them in working out of themselves whom God has created in them individually at birth to be.

BB: Undoubtedly, you are a busy man. What do you do in your spare time?
Naulls: My wife, Anne, our four children and four grandchildren are my full-time enjoyment. We are a [pious]
family that has been blessed in abundance and we are thankful every day for the prosperity of spirit, soul and

STRAIGHT ANSWERS
FROM SENIOR FORWARD AMANDA LIVINGSTON
BACKTALK
Amanda Livingston won’t eat her peas, wears socks that
don’t match and can’t stand drivers who leave their
blinkers on. We hope that someday she slips into a size 4
comfortably — the reward being a snack of original
munchies with Will Smith, Denzel Washington, Tyrese
Paul Walker and Orlando Bloom.
I wish I could wear …… a size 4 comfortably.
Favorite snack …… munchies (original).
I wouldn’t be caught dead eating …… peas.
I’m finicky about …… wearing wristbands in games.
My last big basketball purchase was …… my diamond necklace with my number on it.
Hidden talents …… scrapbooking and taking pictures.
My secret shame is …… wearing socks that don’t match.
I’m not embarrassed to …… be loud and the center of attention.
What do you love about college basketball? The atmosphere, UCLA’s athletic program,
my teammates and Bruin fans.
Favorite athlete in any sport: Dwayne Wade (Miami Heat). His knowledge of the game is off the charts
and he can make any move look easy. Plus, he’s a team player.
Pet peeves …… Bad drivers; people who leave their blinkers on.
Best-looking Hollywood actors …… Will Smith, Denzel Wshington, Tyrese Paul Walker, Orlando Bloom
In 10 years I see myself …… married with kids and having my own real estate company.
