Talk:Tom Heinsohn

Photo caption

The photo caption for the photo in the side bar of this article's start states that the Celtics were in a game against the Philadelphis 76ers. The photo information says circa 1962; Bob Cousy is visible in the photo. If the date is correct, and that is Cousy, (who retired in 1963) then it is not the 76ers but the Philadelphia Warriors Boston was playing in that picture. The Warriors moved to San Francisco after the 1963 playoffs, and the Syracuse Nats did not move into Phila to become the Sixers until 1964. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:30B:8281:D4B0:6891:39CF:78AA:B928 (talk) 20:51, 9 September 2014 (UTC)

Good observation. Since Cousy is in the picture, it must predate the 76ers move from Syracuse. I've updated the caption. — Myasuda (talk) 02:43, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

Heinsohn had been in poor health recently and due to blood clotting problems, he didn’t broadcast Celtics games when the team resumed play this season after being sidelined for months by the pandemic. MikaelaArsenault (talk) 19:39, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

Outdated information

It says he was involved in all 21 finals appearances, but they have now made the finals. Thus, the information needs to be updated or removed. 76.180.79.105 (talk) 02:03, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

More outdated information

The article says Heinsohn is one of only 4 people to be double Hall of Famers as player and coach. Actually, the list is:
