Which Celtic players attended Brigham Young University and/or were Mormons?

(The examples I can think of fit both categories.)

Two guys who at some time were Celtics players were traded for each other. One of them later became head coach at the other's alma mater. Who were they?

Ainge and Michael Smith are the two off the top of my head.

I think Greg Kite and Fred Roberts also came from Brigham Young...

Bill Russell and Danny Ainge. What connect these two? Not obvious answer like both played for C's or something

Something to do with them both living in the Pacific Northwest (and being involved in sports) in the 1970s?

Bill Russell traded for Danny Ainge. When Bill was Kings GM he traded Pinckney and Kleine to Celtics for Ainge and Lohaus.

Paul Westhapl was once traded to Dennis Johnson, and later coached at DJ's Pepperdine

Kite definitely. I forgot about Roberts.

You are correct, of course!

Further, it is possible to edit one's own posts. Look for the icon of a slanted pencil, just to the right of the +1 button, at the upper right corner of the post.

I keep not remembering Russell being active as a GM.

Which former Celtics is the first player to lead the league in steals per game and latter played for C's ?

Still no one answer this question...

Current Celtic Tyler Zeller has brother who plays in the NBA.
In history, there was 9 players who played for C's and also had a brother who played in NBA...
Can you name it?

The Paxsons and Barrys come to mind in a hurry.

Edit: Actually, Jon Barry wouldn't count, would he?

If you do a father/son question next, I have dibs on the Hendersons, Presseys and -- if they count -- Barrys.

Played only one NBA game before he came to Celtics. Played here for 2 seasons. After Celtics won 3 NBA titles and made 8 all-defensive teams.
Who is he?

I'm surprised there are only 9. So many brother combos out there.

Ray Williams - Gus
Charles Bradley - dudley
Jim paxson - john

Did a van arsdale ever wear green?

Does Eddie house count? Brother in law of ...kidd?

I'm disappointed I can't think of any more.
