Prior to coaching the Celtics, Auerbach coached the now-defunct Washington Capitals to two division titles in 1947 and 1949. The 1947 team's 0.817 winning percentage remained the NBA's highest for the next 20 years. In the 1949-50 season, he coached the Tri-Cities Blackhawks. During his twenty years as a coach, he won 938 regular season games, a record that would stand until Lenny Wilkens broke it in the 1994-95 season. Auerbach is tied with Phil Jackson for the most NBA championship rings as a coach with nine. He also won the NBA Executive of the Year award with the Celtics in the 1979-1980 season. Auerbach remains the best-known NBA executive, and was named the greatest coach in the history of the NBA by the Professional Basketball Writers Association of America in 1980. Prior to coaching in the NBA, Auerbach was an assistant coach at Duke University.
Red Auerbach is still working with youngsters, coaching at the Red Auerbach Basketball School. He is also the chairman of the Red Auerbach Youth Foundation.
In recent years, Auerbach has been in and out of hospitals for unspecified health problems (Auerbach's family has requested that information on his condition not be released). In the summer of 2005, he was unable to attend his own basketball camp and in September, he was hospitalized again, but was released from the hospital in October.
