Former NBA player and coach Chris Ford died Tuesday at age 74.
Ford played parts of 10 seasons in the NBA with the Pistons and Celtics before starting his coaching career in 1983 as an assistant with Boston.
The Celtics won three NBA titles with Ford as a member of the organization -- one as a player (1981) and two as an assistant coach (1984 and 1986).
Ford later served as the Celtics' head coach for five seasons from 1990-91 to 1994-95, going 222-188 over that stretch and guiding Boston to the postseason four times.
