Daly was perhaps best known for coaching the two-time NBA champion “Bad Boys” Pistons who won their titles in 1989 and 1990. Those Pistons are regarded as some of the best defensive teams of all-time who won with toughness, determination and clutch play.

The Dream Team of the 1992 Olympics was also coach by Chuck Daly. That team, which included such legends as Michael Jordan and Larry Bird, won the gold medal for the United States with an average margin of victory of more than 43 points.

NBA commissioner David Stern had this to say about Chuck Daly:

“Chuck Daly was known best for the outstanding work he did on the sidelines — from guiding the Detroit Pistons to back-to-back NBA championships to leading the Dream Team to the gold medal at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. But Chuck did much more than coach basketball games. He positively impacted everyone he met, both personally and professionally, and his love of people and the game of basketball helped develop the next generation of coaches. The void left by his death will never be filled. The NBA family extends its sympathy to his wife Terry, daughter Cydney, grandchildren Sebrina and Connor, and Chuck’s entire family.”

Chuck Daly Dies at 78

If you are a player in the NFL right now and you happen to get the feeling you are being watched…. it’s because you really are.

The NFL is hiring former police officers and FBI agents to essentially spy on its players.

Hey, we know some of the those guys are up to no good, but honestly…. spying on them? Isn’t that a bit much.

According to one source:

“During a recent road trip, the San Diego Chargers not only conducted bed checks, but placed guards in the hotel hallways to make sure players didn’t sneak out. The Seattle Seahawks have declared an entire downtown entertainment district off-limits, and the Denver Broncos have begun sending a former cop to local nightclubs on weekends to make sure the players behave.”

Crack down!!! Take that you NFL bad boys!

All this scuttlebutt has at least one player feeling like he constantly must look over his shoulder. Broncos defensive tackle Marcus Thomas called his agent last year in a panic, saying he “was convinced he was being followed by a white man in sunglasses who had been sent by the NFL.”

Remember Marcus, just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re NOT out to get you.
