When new Boston Celtics owner Bill Chisholm was leading the Brooks School soccer team as a captain in the 1980s, coach Dusty Richard noted his talents transcended the playing field.
"I figured he would do great things," Richard said in a recent interview. "Nothing he achieved surprised me. But I must admit, I did not know he was in a position to pay $6.1-billion (the Celtics’ franchise purchase price)."
Chisholm, 56, was named ISL player of the year as Brooks won the 1986 New England Prep School title. Chisholm went on to compete for Dartmouth, winning the 1990 Ivy League championship and reaching the quarterfinals of the NCAA Tournament under the coaching of Bobby Clark.
