"Chuck did much more than coach basketball games. He positively impacted everyone he met, both personally and professionally, and his love of people and the game of basketball helped develop the next generation of coaches." - David Stern, NBA Commissioner "Chuck was always a friend of coaches. A good guy. He was always in the coaching fraternity and always extended a friendly hand." - Phil Jackson, Los Angeles Lakers head coach "Chuck had a genuine humility that allowed him to relate to all kinds of people. From the president to a JV player, he could build a friendship with anyone." - Rollie Massimino, head coach at Northwood University
"Chuck had a great sense of players and their needs. He knew what buttons to push and when to push them and when to leave you alone." - Julius Erving, "Dr. J," former 76ers star" There was no better ambassador for the game of basketball than Chuck Daly." - Mike Krzyzewski, Duke University basketball coach and U.S. Olympics coach, 2008 and 2012
