Celtics coach saves a man's life

Celtics strength and conditioning coach Bryan Doo helped save a man's life during a pickup basketball game at the Hyde Park Community Center in Newton on Wednesday.

Chuck Conley passed out during a water break and his heart stopped, when Doo grabbed the defibrillator that was hanging on the wall.

The only part that made me nervous is when the machine said press the button, shock him, Doo told WCVB TV.

The point is I think anybody could have done it. I think I was there, and it happened to be me.

Doo restarted Conley's heart before he was taken to the hospital. Conley had a clogged artery and had surgery to fix the problem.

According to WCVB TV, the defibrillator was placed in the gym by local doctors who had lost a friend that was playing basketball at the gym.
