Recalling Jim Loscutoff -- An Auerbach Guy to the Core

Guest Post by Abacus Reveals

I’m not quite old enough to have seen Jim Loscutoff play for the Celtics. I was only seven when he hung up his Chucks to assume the head coaching position at the old Boston State College. The native Californian out of the University of Oregon (a three-year military stint separated his junior and senior seasons) had been the Celtics’ first round draft choice the year before Auerbach and Walter Brown maneuvered themselves into position to land that Russell guy.

A lot of guys show up in the league expecting to showcase their skills.
