Red Auerbach, 1917-2006

Basketball lost one of the greatest men to ever be involved in the game, and Boston lost one of their landmarks yesterday, when Arnold "Red" Auerbach passed away following an apparent heart attack. ESPN has a couple of great articles on Auerbach, and what he meant to the game. His Boston Celtics won a total of 16 titles while he was with the organization; the first nine rings came as a coach, and seven more came during his stint as GM. More importantly, he was a great character, and an even better man; he will be missed.
