Daly Wisdom: Life lessons from dream team coach and hall-of-famer Chuck Daly

Before Chuck Daly arrived on the scene, the Detroit Pistons had struggled to find a place in the NBA. Beginning in 1983, Daly led the team to nine winning seasons, capped by back-to-back championship titles in 1989-90. In 1992, he was chosen to lead the original USA Dream Team in the Olympics. But this was just a fraction of Daly's amazing life. Along the way, he became known for his "Chuckisms"-phrases you heard so often you could almost say them along with him. Each one defined a lesson he had learned along the way. In Daly Wisdom, NBA leader Pat Williams has collected the best of the "Chuckisms," along with stories from those who knew and loved Chuck Daly. We offer them to you in this book in bite-sized lessons you can read and grow by-dairy.
