A 1952 graduate of Bloomsburg University (then known at Bloomsburg State College), Daly played two seasons for the Huskies' basketball team after spending one season on the freshman team at St. Bonaventure University. A native of Kane, Pa. who was born in nearby St. Marys, Pa., Daly is perhaps best known as the head coach of the 1992 U.S. Olympic Men's Basketball Team - the original "Dream Team." He also was the head coach of the Detroit Pistons of the NBA and guided the team to three straight appearances in the NBA Finals, winning world championships in 1989 and 1990. In addition to his best-known time as the Pistons head coach, Daly also coached the Cleveland Cavaliers, New Jersey Nets and Orlando Magic. He compiled a 519-342 record as an NBA head coach and was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2001. He is the only Hall of Fame coach to ever win both an NBA championship and an Olympic Gold Medal. His 1992 "Dream Team," which is often considered the greatest basketball team ever assembled, went 8-0 at the Barcelona Games and won its games by an average of nearly 44 points en route to reclaiming the gold for the U.S. That team was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2010 and is one of only eight teams enshrined in the Hall of Fame. Making it all the more remarkable, 11 of the 12 players on the roster and three of the four coaches - including Daly - are also in the Hall of Fame as individuals. Daly, who passed away in 2009, also coached collegiately at the University of Pennsylvania, and at the high school level at Punxsutawney High School.
