The following three items in this lot come from the estate collection of Hall of Fame head coach Chuck Daly two of which hold special significance from the early stages of his career in the state of Pennsylvania. Daly graduated from collage at Bloomsburg University (Bloomsburg PA) and earned his Masters at Penn State before getting his first high school coaching gig in Punxsutawney (home to the notorious groundhog named Punxsutawney Phil). From 1971-77 Daly was head coach for the University of Pennsylvania Quakers in the Ivy League. This coming on the heels of an assistant coaching gig at Duke (1963-69) and a head coaching stint with Boston College (1969-71). Before earning his first head coaching position in the NBA with the Cleveland Cavaliers in 1981-82 Daly served as assistant coach with the Philadelphia 76ers from 1978-81.
