(from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Wooden)
". . . In the 1948–1949 season, John Wooden was hired as the fourth basketball coach in UCLA history. . . Wooden signed a three-year contract for $6,000 in the first year. . . Officials from the University of Minnesota contacted Wooden immediately after he accepted the position at UCLA, but he declined their offer because he had already given his word to UCLA. . . When Mel Taube left Purdue in 1950, Wooden's inclination was to return and finally accept the head coaching job there. He was ultimately dissuaded when UCLA officials reminded him that it was he who had insisted upon a three-year commitment during negotiations in 1948. Wooden felt that leaving UCLA prior to the expiration of his contract would be tantamount to breaking his word. . . "
