Former Pistons coach Chuck Daly diagnosed with cancer
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP)—Former Detroit Pistons coach Chuck Daly has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
The team says Friday that Daly “is being treated for the cancer and his family is requesting privacy.”
Daly coached the Pistons to NBA championships in 1989 and 1990. He also was the coach of the 1992 gold medal-winning US Olympic squad dubbed the “Dream Team.” He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1994.

Man, that is really too bad. I hope they caught it early enough...this is a fairly rare form of cancer, and if I remember correctly, the cure rate of it is very low.
