Chuck Daly, who coached the original Dream Team to the Olympic gold
medal in 1992 after winning back-to-back NBA championships with the
Detroit Pistons, has died. He was 78.
He died Saturday morning in Jupiter, Fla., with his family by his side, the
team said. The Pistons announced in March that the Hall of Fame coach
had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and was undergoing treatment.
He was renowned for his ability to create harmony out of diverse personalities
at all levels of the game, whether they were Ivy Leaguers at Pennsylvania,
Dream Teamers Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley, or Pistons as dissimilar
as Dennis Rodman and Joe Dumars.
