Arnold Jacob "Red" Auerbach (September 20, 1917 October 28, 2006) was a highly successful and influential basketball coach of the Washington Capitols, the Tri-Cities Blackhawks and the Boston Celtics. In the closing stages of his career, he worked as a front office executive and president of the Celtics until his death.
As a coach, Red won 938 games, a record at his retirement, and won nine titles with the Celtics, a record shared with Phil Jackson.
Winning an additional seven titles as the Celtics general manager and team president, he won 16 National Basketball Association (NBA) championships in a span of 29 years, making him one of the most successful officials ever in North American professional sports.
Beyond trophies, Auerbach is remembered as a pioneer of modern basketball, redefining basketball as a game dominated by team play and tough defense rather than individual feats and high scoring and introducing the fastbreak as a potent offensive weapon. Nevertheless, he groomed many players who went on to be inducted in the Basketball Hall of Fame but more importantly, Auerbach was vital in breaking down color barriers in the NBA. He made history by drafting the first African-American NBA player in Chuck Cooper (1950), and introduced the first fully black starting five in 1964.
Famous for his polarizing nature, he was also well-known for smoking victory cigars when he thought a game was decided, a habit that became cult in Boston.

this discussion is over with. This is not the best photo of the Red Menace, but this clearly falls into the "corpse (but not shot-blocking)" topic tag listed above.

He might border on strawberry-blonde, but he is a red-head in his soul.
