for those that don\'t know much about red auerbach, i recommend reading \"let me tell you a story\" by john feinstein. i think it\'s a book that most basketball fans would find interesting, and it gives you a good idea of the kind of person auerbach was, on and off the court.

Red was:
* Arguably the greatest coach ever.
* Arguably the greatest GM ever.
* Without a doubt ahead of his time socially with his ability to be colorblind, and judge men on what was inside their skin.

He\'ll be missed.
