As a pro, where the night-after-night competition is much tougher, Cousy's fancy-dan passing sometimes caused costly mistakes. Says Boston Coach Red Auerbach: "I had to get Bob to learn to fool the opposition without fooling his own team." The solution: Auerbach benched Cousy, who hates to miss a minute of play, every time...
