Red bled green. Even if he was born in New York, Red bled Boston Celtic green. He was Coach/G.M./President of a team that won 16 championships. He was GM when he hired Mr. Bill Russell, who became the FIRST black coach in sports. His Celtics, brought forth the first basketball team of 5 black starters. Known for his trademark cigar, which he would light at a win Mr Auerbach was Celtic Pride. My thoughts and prayers go to his family and friends. May Red be high above courtside with the ultimate ref.
