TOM HEINSOHN RUMORS & GOSSIP
Video: Celtics Announcer Goes Nuts After MCW’s Palming Isn’t Called, Turner Hits Buzzer-Beater
If it were up to Boston Celtics announcer Tom Heinsohn, Evan Turner never even would have had a chance to attempt a buzzer-beater Wednesday night. That’s because he believes that Sixers point guard Michael Carter-Williams was guilty of palming the ball on the team’s final possession before passing to Turner. He made it clear how he felt about referee Violet Palmer’s no-call...

The Tom Heinsohn Question in the Information Age
Boston Celtics broadcaster Tom Heinsohn is aging while his audience evolves. It bears the question: Should the Boston Celtics and Comcast replace the Hall of Famer? As America and the rest of the world continues to reap in the benefits and luxuries of the Information Age, we tend to forget just how much it is negatively impacting others. Well, that is, if you are one of those...

Report: Tom Heinsohn Will Work Only Celtics Home Games, Be Replaced By Team of Analysts on Road
Big changes to the Celtics’ broadcast coverage will not affect the place that matters most to fans — at least, not for home games.
Tom Heinsohn and Mike Gorman will remain on the sideline calling Celtics games for the 33rd straight year, but Heinsohn will provide color commentary only for games at TD Garden, The Boston Globe reports. That small change in CSNNE’s broadcast plan...

What the Hell Happened to...Jack Foley?
This week in WTHHT, we remember the second alumni of Holy Cross (after Togo Palazzi). If you think we're talking about Cousy or Heinsohn, certainly you don't remember Jack "The Shot" Foley.
Jack Foley was an absurd high school player at Assumption Prep in MA. He scored 920 points in 22 games which comes out to a 41.8 ppg average in 1958, his senior season. ...

Mike and Tommy? How about Red and Tommy? When Heinsohn Was The More Objective Man in the Booth.
These days Tommy Heinsohn is probably best known to the younger set of Celtics fans as the helplessly homer voice on the Celtics television broadcasts, who complains nightly about the refereeing and the atrocities committed against the home town team.

Bill Russell, Tom Heinsohn, Elgin Baylor Paved Way for Expanded Labor Rights for NBA Players
In 1964, the revolution was nearly televised. The NBA was set to feature its first live, televised All-Star game in Boston. It was a big deal for the nine-team league, which would be called a "bush league" by Wilt Chamberlain on the cover of Sports Illustrated a little more than year later. The Celtics regularly braved the wintery slick of I-95 to play games in Providence...

Doc Rivers Expects Tom Heinsohn to Be 'Nice and Calm' When Celtics Take on Hated Sixers
WALTHAM, Mass. -- In the dark days of the Celtics franchise in the mid-1990s, Tommy Heinsohn used to celebrate big plays by reserve forward Walter McCarty by declaring, "I love Walter!" Chances are Heinsohn has never watched a Philadelphia 76ers game and spontaneously yelled, "I love Philly!" The Celtics open their Eastern Conference semifinal series against the...
