SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – Many player-coach relationships fizzle quickly. Some may last for years.

This one will last forever.

Nearly 40 years after their player-coach relationship came to an end, Jo Jo White and Tommy Heinsohn will stand alongside each other tonight as they are enshrined into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, where they will be remembered for the rest of time.

White, who spent 10 of his 12 NBA seasons in Boston, will be enshrined as a player, while Heinsohn will be enshrined as a coach.
