The 76ers coach wore jeans and perfectly polished brown leather shoes with a fitted dark plaid jacket over a white and gray pinstriped shirt.

However, Brown looked like a tired man from the neck up, one who is glad his NBA season is over. Additionally

Ene Shue, the two-time NBA Coach of the Year who led the Bullets, 76ers, and Clippers to 784 victories, passed away. He was ninety years old.

Shue was a five-time All-Star for the Pistons as a player and spent more than twenty years as a coach. In 1971, he led the Baltimore Bullets to the NBA Finals; the following year, he accomplished the same feat with the Philadelphia 76ers. With 522 victories, he continues to hold the Washington-Baltimore franchise record.

Shue passed away on Monday, the Wizards and the NBA announced.

According to the league, Gene “dedicated his life to the game and left an indelible mark as a player, head coach, and executive.”

Shue attended Maryland for his college career, where he won the Southern Conference Tournament MVP award.

He spent ten years as an NBA player before turning to coaching, and he was selected for five All-Star teams while a member of the Detroit Pistons. He took over the Bullets in 1966, and after the team finished 57-25 in 1968–69, he was awarded Coach of the Year. Baltimore made it to the Finals in 1971 but lost to Milwaukee.

The Wizards expressed their sadness over the passing of former Bullets head coach Gene Shue, a Baltimore native and the team’s all-time winningest coach.

Following the 1972–73 season, Shue resigned and took over the 76ers. In 1977, Philadelphia made it to the Finals but fell to Portland in six games.

Early in the next season, Shue was let go by the 76ers and joined the San Diego Clippers.
