Walt Hazzard

UCLA Basketball, 1985 -1988

Hazzard returned to the helm at the same Pauley Pavilion where he dominated as a player in the early 1960’s.

He had moderate success at UCLA, but left after accumulating a 77-47 record in his four seasons at the school, which was accustomed to winning titles and dominating.

His squads made one NCAA tournament appearance and won one NIT Championship (1984-1985).
