Chuck Daly
Chuck Daly gained worldwide notoriety as coach of the famed Olympic Dream Team, but long before Barcelona and the Gold Medal, Daly had already established himself as one of basketball?s premier coaches. Daly, who retired from coaching after the 1993-94 season with the New Jersey Nets, coached a total of 12 NBA seasons with the Cleveland Cavaliers, Detroit Pistons and New Jersey Nets. He compiled a 564-379 (.598) career record, 13th best among all coaches and ninth best by percentage. On the combined NBA/ABA victory list, Daly's 564 wins place him 17th. His 74-48 playoff record, which includes back-to-back NBA championships with the Detroit Pistons (1989, 1990) ranks fourth best in NBA history by wins and eighth best by percentage (.607). He is the only Hall of Fame coach to win both an NBA championship and an Olympic gold medal.
Following his retirement from coaching, Daly has taken his considerable talents to the television arena as an NBA analyst with Turner Network Television (TNT). On June 4, 1997, Daly came out of retirement and was named head coach of the Orlando Magic, a coaching stint that lasted two seasons.
