I am sad to write another post about an all-time great passing away. Chuck Daly will be remembered as a coach with an ability to mold different personalities into champions. His Detroit Piston teams of the 80's and 90's were some of the best ever. Dennis Rodman, Joe Dumars, Bill Laimbeer, Vinnie Johnson and others were known for their tenacity and physical play which Daly instilled in each and every one of them. The Pistons were the team you loved to hate but Daly was the coach you just plain loved. Daly was inducted into the Hall of Fame, won an Olympic gold medal and voted one of the top 10 coaches of the century. He will missed by all.
