I not going to wax poetic or anything like that, Though I'll admit i am tempted to talk about my childhood. Haha. But, it would be wrong to not at least post a picture of the great Chuck Daly.
I will say a couple general things i guess. It feels almost like the founder of a religion has died. Cause that is about the impact he has had for the civil religion of Detriot and for fans. Detroit pistons were a historically crappy club with a couple great past players as the only good in their historty. Chuck took on the mentality that all championships will be won by boston or LA until the end of time- and chainged the pistons to do so. He set the foundation for a basketball philosophy that still exists in detroit. The rules have changed much of play, but you can still see his handprints on the piston's style today. Well, not this season;)

I think it is interesting that with all the family and people in Daly's life. His pall bearers were Isiah Thomas, Vinnie Johnson, Joe Dumars, Bill Laimbeer and Rick Mahorn. that's cool.
