Patrick Promoted To LSU Assistant Head Coach
Bermuda-born David Patrick has been promoted to Louisiana State University’s basketball assistant head coach for the 2014-15 season.
The 38-year-old has been on staff the past two seasons at LSU assisting in both game and practice coaching responsibilities, scouting preparations for opponents while also helping Jones recruit some of the nation’s top talent to come to LSU.
The contract for Mr Patrick must be approved by the LSU Board of Supervisors at its next meeting.
“Coach David Patrick has done an excellence job on our staff the past two seasons,” said LSU men’s basketball Head Coach Johnny Jones.
“His hard work, tireless effort, loyalty and selfless attitude have helped move our program forward. We are pleased to announce that he will serve the capacity of assistant head coach next season.”
Mr. Patrick — who was born in Bermuda and grew up in Melbourne, Australia — went to LSU in 2012 after a stint as a personnel scout with the Houston Rockets of the NBA.
