David Patrick begins his first season as an Assistant Coach for the Saint Mary's men's basketball team, following one season as the Director of Basketball Operations for the Gaels. Patrick came to Saint Mary's in 2006 from Nicholls State University where he served as an assistant coach for the 2005-06 season. Bermuda born, Patrick joined the coaching ranks in 2005 after playing four years of professional basketball overseas. Following his collegiate playing days, Patrick returned to Australia to play for the Canberra Cannons of the National Basketball League from 1999-2001. Following his first season with the Cannons, he was named the NBL Rookie of the Year in 2000. He then joined the Chester Jets of England's British Basketball League for the 2001-02 season, where he garnered second team all-league honors. His final professional season was spent in Spain where he was a member of Alcora of the LEB1 league in 2002-03. In high school Patrick came to J.P Piper's Chapel Trafton Tigers from Australia as a senior. He led the team to the 1995 Class A State quarterfinals and was named the Louisiana Player of the Year. He was selected as district M.V.P, was a First Team All Parish selection, and was selected to participate in the Louisiana High School All-Star Game. He was also a member of junior national teams in Australia and named as an All Australian player from 1992-1994. After high school Patrick spent one season at Syracuse University where he was a member of the 1996 NCAA Final Four Championship team that finished as the national runner up. He then transferred to the University of Louisiana-Lafayette where he was the point guard from 1997-2000. Following his collegiate career he went on to be the first Bermudian to play professionally. He played four years in Australia, England and Spain, where he was a finalist twice. Patrick graduated from UL-Lafayette in 2000 with a degree in Criminal Justice. Patrick has been married for six years to the former Cassie Frank of Oberlin, La. They have a daughter named Bailee.

Credentials seem OK. Would have to see the finalist list to determine who they had a shot at and then compare. If anyone knows other candidates, please list.

Wife is from Oberlin. Jewel of Allen Parish.

If true, would be an incredible hire.
Delivered Patty Mills to St. Marys and is completely in tune with the Australian basketball scene.
Played high school at Trafton as an Australian exchange student and college Syracuse and ULL.
Further diversifies the staff. There is a lot of talent in Australia. He also has played and coached at a a variety of places.
Home run, in my opinion (if true).

The Daily Reveille has an article about this. Still no official word:
Source: Patrick to replace Forrest
Source: Patrick to replace Forrest

After the abrupt resignation of former assistant coach Shawn Forrest, it appears new LSU men’s basketball head coach Johnny Jones has landed an international presence to replace Forrest.
Sources confirmed to The Daily Reveille that former Saint Mary’s assistant coach David Patrick will accept the job to fill out Jones’ staff.
Patrick, born in Bermuda and raised in Melbourne, Australia, was the 1995 Louisiana Player of the Year after transferring to Chapel Trafton in Baton Rouge for his senior year of high school.
