This is terrible news
R.I.P Coach Daly
I am thankful too that you brought your great coaching here in Orlando and on the real Dream Team.
God Bless
not the way i want to start my weekend..... great coach.. rip
R.I.P to this coaching legend. He implemented the Jordan rules, knocked Jordan and the Bulls out of the playoffs three straight years(88'-'90), winning two championships in the process.
:bowdown: Chuck Daly :bowdown:
RIP chuck, you will never be forgotten :cry:
Condolences to his friends and family, not shocking considering he had advanced cancer but still very sad. His coaching revolutions helped to define a decade of great basketball. RIP :cheers:
The man that brought winning basketball to Detroit RIP Chuck... we will miss you.
Holy SH!T, I just found out about this. :eek: Terrible news. Chuck always seemed like a great guy. Very classy. I feel like I know him personally. A terrible loss for the NBA and Chuck's family. Wow.
[QUOTE=embersyc]Pistons legends dropping like flies :([/QUOTE]
Nothing survives well in Detroit these days...
RIP Daddy Rich. :cry: :(
Thanks for a lot for helping in bringing those two titles to Michigan.
And bringing the gold medal with the Dream Team or the greatest team ever assembled.
A True Legend and Winner will now rest. :bowdown: :bowdown:
RIP.
One of the greatest coaches of all time.
RIP.
Another tradegic story of pancreatic cancer claiming a life too early.
I loved Dennis Rodman's comments on his former coach. R.I.P. Chuck
Innovator of defense, wrote the Jordan rules, I hated playing you but thanks for giving us Mahorn!
RIP.
:( seems like just a few years back he was on top of the world with the Pistons "bad boys" era. Rest in peace.
RIP
R.I.P I am happy I got a chance to experience as a basketball fan his coaching against my team and the Dream Team.
RIP. He will be missed. Although the Bad Boys Pistons was filled with dickheads, he was a class act and a great coach. Definitely better than Phil Jackson.
RIP Chuck!!!!!
Hated but loved your Bad Boys at the same time back in the day. Thanks for bringing gold to America as well! You will be missed but never forgotten!!! Man we really need to find a cure for cancer.
R.I.P Chuck. A very underrated Coach who no one ever really talked about.
It's funny how the mid to late 80s era of sports was all about being a tough guy, or going beyond the norm. the NBA had a "Newness" to it that hasn't been duplicated since, and those Pistons teams were right in the thick of it.
I remember being a Magic/Lakers fan, and watching Isiah Thomas, Joe Dumars, and Vinnie Johnson go on shooting sprees where they couldn't miss if they tried, all while holding other teams to 80-90 points (that was HUGE in an era of 120 point games ok?).
Anyway, like everyone's been saying, thanks for being a pivotal part of my teen years Chuck (amazing how Chuck's the only coach who "looked" like the style of ball that he coached lol).
