I look forward to watching him continue to build on the foundation of success Chattanooga Basketball has established over the years,&#8221; added Wharton.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am honored and extremely excited to be the next head basketball coach at UTC,&#8221; said the new ball coach. &#8220;I would like to thank Mark Wharton and Chancellor Dr. Steve Angle for this amazing opportunity. During the process, I really connected with Mark and the search committee, and I am confident that this is an outstanding fit for my family and UTC.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Earl helped guide VMI to consecutive .500 or better seasons for the first time since 2010-12 and just the second time in program history since a four-year stretch from 1974-1978. In conference play, back-to-back .500 seasons (7-7 in 20-21, 9-9 in 21-22) were achieved for just the first time since 1997-1999 when the SoCon competed in a divisional format.<\/p>\n<p>Earl added, &#8220;I am very aware of the proud history of Chattanooga basketball. My staff and I will work tirelessly to continue the winning ways and plan on competing for championships. I can&#8217;t wait to get started.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Earl previously served as an assistant at his alma mater Penn State from 2006-11 before obtaining associate head coach responsibilities at Navy from 2011-15. At Navy, Earl served as the recruiting director and played a vital role on the offensive side of the ball. He helped the Midshipmen double conference wins in each of the first four seasons under head coach Ed DeChellis.<\/p>\n<p>In Happy Valley, Earl helped lead the Nittany Lions to an NCAA Tournament berth in 2011, the program&#8217;s first in 10 years, and a 2009 NIT Championship that saw the team earn a school-record 27 wins. He helped develop All-Big 10 selection Talor Battle, who became the lone player in Big 10 history to surpass 2,000 points, 500 rebounds and 500 assists in a career.<\/p>\n<p>In his playing days, Earl was a three-time team captain, a 1996 All-Big Ten selection and helped lead the program to one of its best stretches in program history. PSU went 73-46 during his playing career while Earl posted 1,256 career points (15th all-time), 574 assists (2nd all-time) and 194 threes (7th all-time). He played professionally on the international side in addition to stints stateside in the Continental Basketball Association and NBA Development League.<\/p>\n<p>Personally, Earl comes from a heavily rooted basketball family. His father, Denny, started at forward for Rutgers in the 60&#8217;s under head coach Bill Foster and alongside the late Jim Valvano. His younger brother, Brian, started for Princeton from 1996-99 and helped the program win 95 games during that span \u2013 most of any player in school history. Brain is currently the head coach at Cornell.<\/p>\n<p>Earl received a Bachelor of Science degree in marketing from Penn State in December of 1997 and achieved a master&#8217;s degree in business logistics from PSU in 2007. He and his wife, Sheila, have two daughters, Mila and Alyssa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New men&#8217;s basketball coach Dan Earl comes to UTC following a seven-year stint as the head coach of Southern Conference-foe VMI.<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-wrap\"><span><a class=\"more-link button text\" href=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2022\/03\/dan-earl-named-utc-mens-basketball-head-coach\/\"><span>Continue Reading <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":41704,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_slider":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_featurette":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[64,72],"tags":[119329,70447,119263],"class_list":{"0":"post-41694","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-athletics","8":"category-news","9":"tag-dan-earl","10":"tag-mark-wharton","11":"tag-mocs-mens-basketball-team","12":"entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
