To Chuck :cheers:
RIP
[QUOTE=RoseCity07]Whoa, this is out of the blue. RIP[/QUOTE]
Not really. He had pancreatic cancer and the survival rate is not very good.. :(
Rip.
I knew he had cancer, but I wasn't aware of how bad it was. This is a shame.
A truely great coach.
RIP
Man. That was really out of the blue for me. This was just a month or two after he was diagnosed, right? Sad to see him go. Had a neighbor who also died of pancreatic cancer. Nearly everyone in the village was there. But anyway, cheers to Coach Chuck and his work. Hope you're enjoying up there. :applause:
he only missed the plyoffs twice in his nba career, his first season and his next to last season.
r.i.p
didnt the pistons owner die this year aswell?
RIP ... he was definitely a great coach of the bad boys!
:pimp:
He was a great coach back in the day. My condolences to the Daly family. God bless his soul. R.I.P. Chuck Daly.
This is a very sad news. RIP Coach Chuck Daly.
Chuck Daly was a class act :bowdown:
R.I.P.
Which coach was wearing a CD pin on his suit in the playoffs? I forgot. Or was it Doug Collins?
[QUOTE=gencbiba]Which coach was wearing a CD pin on his suit in the playoffs? I forgot. Or was it Doug Collins?[/QUOTE]
they all were (except phil jackson game 2 and 3 of the utah series, don't know why not) as were all of the media guys from nbatv/tnt/espn and probably beyond that as well, my question is do they stop wearing it now that he's dead?

Man that really sucks. He'll always be remembered. RIP.
R.i.p.
Unfortunately, this was expected, with his condition. When I learned about his disease, I expected him to last about 1 year more, but at this age, even this is tough.
RIP to one of the 10 greatest NBA coaches ever.
Why are people acting like this is surprising?
He was gonna kick the bucket sometime during the Playoffs which is why everyone wore those pins for him.
RIP Chuck Daly
RIP, he will be missed....:cry:
RIP Coach Chuck Daly. :cry:
One of the greatest.
R.I.P. :ohwell:
RIP Coach :cry: :cry:
One of the greatest coaches EVER.
How he blended the personalities on that Pistons team is beyond me.
His teams were great during the era of Bird, Magic and Jordan.
I smile when I think of those late 80s battles between the Pistons/Celtics, Pistons/Bulls. Legendary stuff.
He won't be forgotten. He coached real basketball. A physical brand of basketball. Better than the weak stuff Stern wants these days.
RIP to one of the greatest coaches ever.
RIP mate
This hurts. I feel like I grew up with Coach Daly. :ohwell: This is just another reminder that these guys I've been watching coach and perform are human just like us. I remember a lot of older guys told me Wilt Chamberlain's death affected them the same way.
R.I.P Coach :(
It sucked to wake up and read this on yahoo sports
R.I.P. Chuck
When I was much younger, my mother was friends with Chuck's daughter, her name was Sidney I think, and I had met him on a couple of occasions and he was one of the nicest guys ever. Now looking back, it seems amazing that he could transition from the loving father/grandfather type to the architect of the Bad Boys. :oldlol:
And R.I.P. to Bill Davidson also.
one of the all time greats.
Rest peacefully Chuck. Our prayers are with your family.
I was just reading that a legend like Daly never won COY. Isn't that weird? Yet Sam Mitchell has one go figure.
RIP
RIP Chuck Daly :cry:
Thanks for all you have done for our team, our city, our country, and our fans!
:cheers:
To Daddy Rich, one of the most sharp dressed coaches in NBA history.
R.I.P:( :cry:
Only impression I have of him, didn't follow basketball until mid 90's...

NBA will miss ya, goodbye.
RIP Chuck Daly :cry:
rip. :bowdown:
Rest In Peace Coach. His mark & contribution to this game of basketball shall never be forgotten.
wow this is truly sad. RIP Chuck Daly.
Pistons legends dropping like flies :(
R.I.P. Chuck Daly.
We are very thankful for your tenure as Orlando Magic head coach.
