First and foremost i would like to thank chuck daly, for all those exciting games he made possible. As a coach for the pistons, and all the other great teams he played for over the years including the college teams, you will be missed.

Chuck Barkley, on the other hand, probably lost more than we could possibly imagine... :-D

Wow, Mike made it down to a 4? I'm not sure if they played during the Bad Boys days. I kinda doubt it because I think Zeke and Laimbeer would take that as fraternizing with the enemy. I know they played a lot of golf during the Americas tour and their time in Barcelona in 1992, and apparently Daly got the better of it most of the time. Not sure what Chuck's handicap was back then, but I wouldn't doubt if he made some money on those greens.

LOL, was that during the Bad Boys era? It seems like a lot of people took Mike to the cleaners on the course back then. He's improved a lot over the years, though, and now he's about a 4 handicap (which, as an 18-handicapper myself, I can say is pretty good).

Even though he coached a team that was almost universally disliked, he is almost universally respected. That says a lot about the man. Plus I hear he dominated Jordan on the golf course.
