R.I.P. Chuck Daly

One heckuva coach and a nice guy too, Chuck Daly.

He soared with the Pistons for nine seasons and back-to back world championships, and amazed the '92 Olympics with his "dream team". And who can forget the impeccable suits he wore?!!

He could handle the mega-egos in the NBA like few others. "It's a players' league. They allow you to coach them or they don't," Daly once said. "Once they stop allowing you to coach, you're on your way out."

R.I.P., Hall of Famer Chuck Daly.
