Red and Me: A Great Coach, A Life-Long Friend Audiobook

" I enjoyed reading about the Coach/Athlete relationship. "

" If you like the NBA and its history, you'll enjoy this. "

" I thought red and me was a great description of a true bond between two men who cared deeply about each other and they cared so much about each other they didn't have to tell them that. It was also a great look at basketball back then where as if you went against your coach you would be on the bench where as red knew bill was a great player and liked his style and saw something in him no one else saw. The revolution of defense. "

" I am stunned that Bill Russell had a coauthor to write this. I had great hopes for some snippets of wisdom or some insight into the character of one or the other. The only take away is that Red let Bill do his own thing and that worked for Bill. "

" A subtle reminder on how to be a friend and a lesson on how to be a better man. "

" Reading Bill Russell's account of his relationship with Red Auerbach, one comes away with a clearer understanding on how the Celtics of that era became such persistently successful champions. "

" A must read for a Celtic fan. "

" An intimate exploration of a lifelong friendship, with great anecdotes for NBA fans and important lessons from a life well lived. "

" Two of my all time heros. It was a good read and a great description of what real friendship is all about. "

" There's a lot of talk about the game of basketball, which some people might not like. However, the discussion of the racial issues of the time, in the NBA and among fans and coaches, is really interesting. "

" Easy read, touching. Nothing too earth-shattering. "

" This was one of my favorite books i've ever read during the summer Bill Russell is now one of my favorite basketball players because of this book.If any one were to write about a basketball player it should be him or Micheal Jordan I give this book 5 stars and would recomend it. "

" Great book about an unassuming, unconditional bond between two legends. "

" A quick, insightful read into the relationships of two very different and very dominant men in the sports world. There are some interesting stories scattered throughout, along with some quotes and lessons available for application by all. "

" I knew who Bill Russell was before I read his book. I have no interest in basketball. My interest is in peoples stories. I found Bill Russell's values and mine are much the same. "

" A very enjoyable book for anyone interested in basketball, race relations, friendship or leadership. "

" If you like that sort of thing... "

" I enjoyed this book so much. Its focus was on respect, dignity, integrity and friendship. "

" Very nice story of the friendship between these two men from different "tribes" who, together, changed the professional game of basketball and established the definition of "champion". Today's NBA players can learn a lot from Bill Russell. "

" Was a very good.....about the struggles of black/athletes in the 50's & 60's. Learned not to try and change people...be friends, etc without changing them to fit your needs. Learned a lot about Red A. and Bill Russell. (4.5 hrs) "

" I picked this up just to learn more about my Celtics. Great book about friendship and the art of really listening to the needs of others. Love the little tidbits and learned how great Red really was as a coach and as man. "

" The writing is a little choppy and simplistic, but Russel makes some great points about what makes a good coach and a good relationship period. A must read if you're a coach or a Celtics fan. "
