Red Auerbach dies at 89

The sports world lost a giant on Saturday evening when legendary Boston Celtics coach Red Auerbach died in his Washington, D.C., home at 89.

USA TODAY looks back at the Hall of Famer’s life with an obituary, a photo gallery and an audio remembrance.

Auerbach may have been the greatest coach in the history of American sports. He won nine championships with the Celtics, including eight straight between 1959-1966. He retired with 938 wins, a record that stood until Lenny Wilkens passed him during the 1994-1995 season.

Scores of players who went on to become Hall of Famers benefited from Auerbach’s tutelage. He ushered Bill Russell, Bob Cousy, Tom Heinsohn, K.C. Jones, Larry Bird, John Havliceck, Kevin McHale and Robert Parish into Celtics green and then into gold championship rings.
