== Professional career ==
Holzman was discharged from the Navy in 1945 and subsequently joined the [[National Basketball League (United States)|NBL]] [[Rochester Royals]], which won the NBL championship in Holzman's first season. Holzman was Rookie of the Year in 1944–45. In 1945–46 and 1947–48 he was on the NBL's first All League team; in the interim year he was on its second team.[http://209.85.165.104/search?q=cache:4RgyWTilxa8J:www.geocities.com/Colosseum/Arena/6925/nbl.html+red+holtzman+rochester&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=2&gl=us] Holzman stayed with the team through their move to the NBA and subsequent NBA championship in 1951. In 1953, Holzman left the Royals and joined the [[Milwaukee Hawks]] as a player-coach, eventually retiring as a player in 1954 but continuing as the team's head coach. During the 1956–1957 season, Holzman led the Hawks (then in [[St. Louis, Missouri|St. Louis]], [[Missouri]]) to 19 losses during their first 33 games, and was subsequently fired.
In 1957, Holzman became a scout for the [[New York Knicks]] for ten years ending in 1967, whereupon he became the team's head coach for the most part until 1982.<ref name=NYT>{{cite news |last=Berkow |first=Ira |authorlink=Ira Berkow|date=November 15, 1998 |url=http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9F04E7DB1031F936A25752C1A96E958260|work=The New York Times|title=Red Holzman, Hall of Fame Coach, Dies at 78|accessdate=September 15, 2008}}</ref> (Holzman's former player, [[Willis Reed]], replaced him as Knicks head coach in 1977, but Holzman returned near the start of the 1978–1979 season.) During this 15-year span as Knicks' coach, Holzman won a total of 613 games, including two NBA championships in 1970 and 1973.
In 1969, Holzman coached the Knicks to a then single-season NBA record [[List of National Basketball Association longest winning streaks|18-game win streak]], breaking the 17-game record first set back in 1946. For his efforts leading up to the Knicks' 1970 championship win, Holzman was named the [[NBA Coach of the Year Award|NBA Coach of the Year]] for that year. He was one of very few individuals to have won an NBA championship as both player and coach. As a coach, his final record was 696 wins and 604 losses. In 1985, he was elected into the [[Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame]]. The [[New York Knicks]] have retired the number 613 in his honor, equaling the number of wins he accumulated as their head coach.
He lived with his wife in a home they bought in [[Cedarhurst, New York]] in the 1950s. Following his lengthy NBA coaching career, Holzman was diagnosed with [[leukemia]] and died at [[Long Island Jewish Medical Center]] in [[New Hyde Park, New York]] in 1998.<ref Name="NYT"/>
