A sad day in Boston as Red Aurebach, coach and owner of the Celtics Died at the age of 89.
Some of his accomplishments:
• Coached Boston Celtics from 1950 to 1966 winning nine championships, including a stretch from 1959 to 1966 when the Celtics won eight straight NBA championships.
• In 20 years as a coach, he won 938 regular season games, a record that would stand until Lenny Wilkens broke it in the 1994-95 season.
• Led Boston to 99 playoff victories, fourth all-time behind Phil Jackson, Pat Riley and Larry Brown.
• Finished with nine NBA championship rings, later tied by Phil Jackson
• NBA Coach of the Year in 1965.
• Coached 11 Hall of Famers.
