I used to love the Piston's back then. They were a fun team to watch.
Chuck did a really good job with the players on that team. Talk about managing people.
Sad day for sports.

"Daddy Rich" - RIP. Best coach we ever had here in Detroit. One snappy dresser, sartorial splendor at it's best.
He had pancreatic cancer. Unfortunately that's not one many people beat. Daly was a great coach and will be missed.
Larry Bird pays tribute to the late Chuck Daly

Celtics Hall of Famer and current Indiana Pacers President Larry Bird paid tribute to the late Chuck Daly after the hall of fame coach lost his battle with pancreatic cancer early Saturday at his Florida home. He was 78. “After all the battles the Celtics had against the Pistons I always had the utmost respect for Chuck as a coach and a person," Bird said in a statement on Saturday. "In the '92 Olympics he handled that team and its talent as well as anybody could. He treated us all with respect and had us all vying for the same goal. For me, it was an honor to play for him.”

Sad day! Chuck Daly was an outstanding basketball coach, but an every better person. He will be missed.
For sure sad day indeed! he later coached in New Jersey and Orlando and had some nice season as well. But he will always be known as the coach of the "Bad Boys"!!
Being a Celtics fan back in Chuck's day, I always hated the " bad boys" but I really liked Chuck. He brought a lot of class to that organization. Its sad to see these icons go.
