Steve Springer of the LOS ANGELES TIMES writes, "Van Breda Kolff died Wednesday at a nursing home in Spokane, Wash., after a long illness, his daughter, Kristina, told the Associated Press. Although he had great success, taking teams to the NCAA tournament six times in his 28 years as a college coach and reaching the NBA Finals twice with the Lakers in his decade in the pros, it is the low point of his career that is best remembered in Los Angeles. And because of that, the name Wilt Chamberlain will forever be linked with Van Breda Kolff."
