chuck dalyChuck Daly, who won back-to-back NBA championships with the Detroit Pistons and then went on to coach the Dream Team to the Olympic gold medal in 1992, has died. He was 78.

Daly was voted one of the 10 greatest coaches of the NBA's first half-century in 1996, two years after being inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame. He was the first coach to win both NBA and Olympic titles.

The Detroit News and The Freep both have nice tributes to the legendary coach. Shall we will never forget the incredible years of basketball that coach Daly gave Detroit, the state of Michigan and fans worldwide.
