The UCLA Bruins men's basketball program represents the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in men's college basketball. Established in 1920, UCLA has won a record 11 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championships (tied with the UConn Huskies women's basketball team for most all-time among college basketball teams). UCLA teams coached by John Wooden won 10 national titles in 12 seasons, from 1964 to 1975, including seven straight from 1967 to 1973. UCLA went undefeated a record four times, in 1964, 1967, 1972, and 1973. Coach Jim Harrick led the team to another NCAA title in 1995. Former coach Ben Howland led UCLA to three consecutive Final Four appearances from 2006 to 2008. On March 30, 2013, Steve Alford was named the school's 13th head men's basketball coach.
UCLA men's basketball has set several NCAA records.

Fred Cozens became the first head coach of the UCLA basketball and football teams in 1919. Cozens coached the basketball team for two seasons, finishing with an overall record of 21–4. Caddy Works was the head coach of the Bruins from 1921 to 1939, guiding them to a 173-159 record. Works was a lawyer by profession and coached the team only during the evenings. According to UCLA player and future Olympian Frank Lubin, Works was "more of an honorary coach" with little basketball knowledge.Wilbur Johns was the UCLA basketball head coach from 1939 to 1948, guiding the Bruins to a 93-120 record.
From 1948 to 1975, John Wooden, nicknamed the "Wizard of Westwood," served as head coach at UCLA. He won ten NCAA national championships in a 12-year period, seven of those in a row, easily breaking the previous record of two in a row. Within this period, his teams won a men's basketball-record 88 consecutive games. (The Connecticut Huskies women's basketball team has since won 100 consecutive games under Geno Auriemma.) Wooden was named national coach of the year six times.
