Message: [QUOTE="manleyzoo, post: 2374465, member: 519"] Wooden was a public employee of the state subject to its rules and regulations. Staffers at the state universities (e.g., San Jose State University) and the university of California system (e.g., UCLA, Berkeley) are all state employees with a few exceptions. Wooden supposedly surprised his staff and his players with the announcement the day before his final game. The mandatory retirement rule was loosely enforced at the time and typically was applied to lower-level workers in exchange for a better benefits package. Waters is stretching a bit with the "forced." [/QUOTE]
