Ball confirmed he was gone after UCLA’s 86-75 loss to Kentucky in an NCAA tournament South Regional semifinal, off to the NBA after one spectacular college season. Also facing decisions about their futures were junior center Welsh, sophomore guard Aaron Holiday and freshman center Ike Anigbogu. Should Leaf and Welsh also leave, the Bruins would feature an entirely new starting lineup next season. Remember that John Wooden also grew up in Indiana before coaching the Bruins for 27 seasons and to 10 national championships. One more year of Leaf, Welsh, Holiday and Anigbogu would surely be sufficient for the Bruins.
