Hall of Fame NBA Coach Bill Fitch Dies at 89

In 1996, in celebration of the NBA’s 50th anniversary, Fitch was named to the top-ten coaches of all-time list

Fitch spent time with five different franchises: the Cavaliers, Celtics, Rockets, Nets and Clippers. Throughout his 25 years coaching in the NBA, he took home two Coach of the Year honors, in 1975–76 and in 1979–80 . He led the Celtics to the NBA title in the 1981 season, and later lost to the Celtics in the 1983 Finals while coaching the Rockets.

Fitch finished with an all-time NBA record of 944–1,106 as well as a 181–115 mark in college. He remains 11th on the NBA's career wins list and is one of just two coaches—Lenny Wilkens being the other—who lost more than 1,100 games in their NBA career.
