...strength to hold the egg for any length of time. Le coach, therefore, put les skiers through an exhaustive and exhausting daily ritual of deep knee bends with 60-lb. sacks of sand on their shoulders, forced them to climb endless flights of stairs, descend innumerable mountains to strengthen thigh muscles. On the slopes, he was the original martinet: barking orders to assistants through a walkie-talkie, charting every speed-slowing bump or hollow, taking the temperature of the snow with a rectal thermometer to be certain that precisely the right amount of wax was on the skis...

Russell is, in fact, his own best player -a defensive genius who is averaging 21.9 rebounds and 14.2 points per game, despite the fact that he has been playing with two sprained fingers and a torn hamstring muscle in his thigh. If anything, says former Celtics Coach Red Auerbach, now the club's general manager, coaching has improved the quality of Bill's play.
