Red Auerbach: The Point Guard
Date: 1930s
Before he prowled the Celtics sidelines, Red Auerbach established himself as a point guard at George Washington University under Head Coach Bill Reinhart. Auerbach later provided insight into how he saw the court in his time at George Washington. “The answer was defense,” he wrote, “I was all over them like a blanket, hounding them every step, shutting them off every chance I got.”
