Watch: Heinsohn at the Helm
Date: 1970s
Tommy Heinsohn took over the reins as head coach on September 15, 1969. Following his stellar career as a player, Coach Heinsohn led the Celtics to another two NBA Finals and added the 12th and 13th NBA World Championship titles in franchise history. Despite his success, his first season got off to a rough start as the Celtics finished the campaign with a 34-48 record. Heinsohn later described the season as “pure trauma.”
