Red Auerbach, the greatest coach in NBA history who lead the Boston Celtics to win 16 championship over 30 years, has died at age 89. A person doesn’t achieve such success without having a fair amount of wisdom tucked in their brain. Here are some Red Auerbach quotes I particularly enjoy:
“The only correct actions are those that demand no explanation and no apology.”
“He who believes in nobody knows that he himself is not to be trusted.”
“Basketball is like war in that offensive weapons are developed first, and it always takes a while for the defense to catch up.”
“The commercial class has always mistrusted verbal brilliancy and wit, deeming such qualities, perhaps with some justice, frivolous and unprofitable.”
“To a father, when a child dies, the future dies; to a child when a parent dies, the past dies.”
“Just do what you do best.”
