He won 638 games in a 14-year NBA career and won titles with the Detroit Pistons in 1989 and 1990. In addition to his illustrious NBA career, Daly was the head coach of the original Dream Team that won the gold medal at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona. He is a Pennsylvania native and got his coach start at Punxsutawney High School from 1955-63.
