Chuck Daly 1930-2009
May 9th 2009 15:22
Hall-of-Fame basketball coach Chuck Daly has died at the age of 78 from pancreatic cancer. He turned around a failing franchise in Detroit and coached them to back to back NBA titles in 1989 and 1990. His teams envisioned the hard work ethic of the Detroit population with their tough defense and team first approach. Two years later he would lead the Dream Team to the Olympic gold medal. BackPageSports sends its condolences to the family and friends of this great leader.
