"UTC is getting one of the most hardworking, dedicated, and competitive people I have ever been around. Coach Earl was very instrumental in my growth as a player and a young man at Penn State. Whether it was on or off the court, Coach was always there for me. The Chattanooga community is getting a great Coach, but an even better person."
- Talor Battle, Penn State Guard (2007-11), Current Northwestern Assistant Coach

"Dan will do a great job at Chattanooga. He is an outstanding coach who has a great understanding of the game on both ends of the floor. I am so proud of him and look forward to watching him build the program!"
- Ed DeChellis, Navy Head Coach
 












"Dan Earl is undeniably a very talented basketball coach. In the time I have gotten to know him, though, his true net worth to a program lies in his principles as a human being." 
- Lamont Paris, South Carolina Head Coach, Former UTC Head Coach

"After looking at many great candidates interested in our men's basketball head coaching position, Dan Earl stood out among an impressive group. We conducted a thorough search process, but it was quickly clear that Dan was the best person to lead our program. He is extremely well-respected among his peers and comes with years of head coaching experience at our level. I look forward to watching him continue to build on the foundation of success Chattanooga Basketball has built over the years."
