From Doc Rivers to Red Auerbach, some of the NBA's brightest minds have led the Boston Celtics to glory in their long history.

Doc Rivers guided the Celtics to a championship in 2008 and brought the team back to relevance after years of mediocrity. His ability to manage superstars was key to his success as a coach.
K.C. Jones used a mild and cool approach to motivate his players to success. He won two championships with the Celtics and had an impressive 75% winning percentage during his time as head coach.
Red Auerbach, regarded as the Celtics' best coach, led the team to nine championships and made history by fielding the first all-black NBA team. His emphasis on team play and building a winning culture left a lasting impact on the franchise.
