"The most important thing in the world is family and love," Wooden said.
The above quote from the article is a marvelous quote from a marvelous man. He seems to have been a man of high integrity compared to typical coaches, in addition to being an outstanding coach.
Based on my limited knowledge, I think the "sports experts" chosen by The Sporting News selected the right person as the greatest coach.

Red Auerbach is ranked #6? This poll can't be taken seriously.

I think any poll like this is subjective. But, I thought it was fun to read the persons these people selected as the greatest coaches.
