Morning sports update: Bill Belichick called resigning as Jets head coach ‘one of the great moments of my career’

On Tuesday, the Celtics and the basketball world lost a legend. Tommy Heinsohn, who won titles in Boston as both a player and coach, and watched the team win several more as a beloved commentator, died at the age of 86.

He was remembered far and wide, including by his friend and former teammate, Bill Russell:

We were rookies together and friends for life. In life there are a limited number of true friends, today I lost one.
