The Definitive Biography of a Coaching Legend Hanging high atop the
world's most famous arena, Madison Square Garden, is the name
"Holzman" and the number "613." That is the total number of wins by
former New York Knicks head coach Red Holzman, which is the most in
franchise history. While he spent six years as a player and another
six as an executive, he's most famous for his time at the helm of
the Knickerbockers, where he led the team to their only two
championships: the first in 1969-70 and the second in 1972-73. He
coached the team for fourteen seasons during his illustrious
career, was named one of the top ten coaches in NBA history, and
was elected to the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1986. Former MSG
president Dave Checketts once said, "Red was the finest human being
I've ever known." But not much is known about the soft-spoken and
private Holzman, as he was the type of person to downplay his own
accomplishments. In Red Holzman: The Life and Legacy of a Hall of
Fame Basketball Coach, author Mort Zachter has taken on the
challenge of sharing this coach's incredible story. From humble
beginnings as the son of immigrant parents growing up in Brooklyn,
Holzman paved a path of excellence at every level. From his time in
the Navy to breaking into the NBA and his rise through the coaching
channels, author Zachter leaves no stone unturned. With interviews
with those who played with, against, and for Red, including Bill
Bradley, Phil Jackson, Bob Cousy, and Walt "Clyde" Frazier to name
a few, the life of a basketball pioneer--one that has since been
held quiet--is shared for the first time.
