Happy to hear this! Sometimes I thought "retirement" would be difficult for him but he seems to be
making that adjustment well. He must be pleased with where KO is bringing this program now.
I really don't know very much about the coaching philosophy and techniques of Red Auerbach but I read
that he had a big influence on JC. In the Wikipedia write-up on Red it says he revolutionized the modern
basketball era with team play, defense and the fast break as a potent offensive weapon. This is a perhaps OT
and should maybe be a separate post but I would appreciate hearing about what those who remember the Celtics
of Red's era see in UConn today. As a youngster I remember the shot blocking of Russell and the fast break of
the Sam and KC Jones et al. It looks like we are starting to shore up the rebounding and the future looks bright
for this kind of game. In addition, KO brings all the knowledge and experience that he picked up in his travels
under different coaches in the NBA. Can't wait for this season.
