TOM HEINSOHN RUMORS & GOSSIP
An Interview with Former Celtic Skip Young
As training camp is upon Celtics' nation, we figured it'd be a great time to get in on the inside. To know what the rigors of training camp consisted of. What better than to ask a former Celtic who experienced training camp himself?
Skip Young was picked in the 7th round by the Celtics in the 1971 NBA draft. Yet he more than made heads turn at training camp that year...

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...
A Birthday Tribute to Tommy Heinsohn
Happy Birthday to Tommy Heinsohn who turns 79 today!! If you are a Celtics fan, you love Tommy for his absolute love of the Celtics that he hides from no one. When I do the Comments from the Other Side columns, almost every one includes fans from the other team commenting about how much they hate listening to Tommy because he broadcasts in the only way he knows: through green colored...

What the Hell Happened to...Red Morrison?
This week in What the Hell Happened To, we remember the last Celtic to wear #15 before Tom Heinsohn, Dwight "Red" Morrison.
Dwight was born in 1932 in Fresno, California and attended Walla Walla High School in Walla Walla, Washington. After being named All State in basketball, he'd attend the University of Idaho where he was named All Conference as well as Honorable...

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.
Mike Gorman, a pro in every sense of the word, oftentimes has to talk Tommy down from the ledge in the middle of a broadcast. I can...

Boston Celtics Continue to Display Inconsistency

After Saturday’s horrific beating 106-77 in favor of the Los Angeles Clippers, I checked in on CSNNE’s Celtics Postgame Live with Gary Tanguay, Tom Heinsohn, and Donny Marshall.
There was a specific moment in the show when I became baffled, the #celticstalk segment. One of the tweets was circulated around Danny Ainge needs to make moves fast. Heinsohn replied to...

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...
