Red’s Final Coaching Stint
Date: 1965-66 season
Players such as Satch Sanders, Bill Russell, Sam Jones and John Havlicek inked their names onto a photograph of the 1965-66 NBA World Champion Celtics. This memorable season marked the end of an era as Red Auerbach stepped down as head coach. His team would go out with a bang: in the 1966 NBA Finals, both Bill Russell and John Havlicek averaged a double-double in points and rebounds as Boston defeated the Los Angeles Lakers, 4-3.
