Patrick is currently suspended from the NBA:

quote:

Former Saint Mary's assistant basketball coach David Patrick, currently a Houston Rockets scout, was suspended for one year by the NBA for illegal contact with players during the NBA lockout.

The NBA ruled that Patrick, who was an assistant on Randy Bennett's staff in Moraga from 2007-10, had impermissible contact with Rockets players in his role as a Rockets personnel scout. Officials from every NBA team were barred from having any contact with its players during the 161-day lockout from July 1-Dec. 8.

The Houston Chronicle reported that Patrick's transgressions were ruled to be personal communication and not team-related business. As such, the Rockets were neither fined nor penalized for Patrick's actions.

Yahoo! Sports first reported Patrick's suspension.

I read on ESPN somewhere a couple of weeks ago that he was a strong candidate. I heard he interviewed for the job Kirby eventually got.

I remember him being approached about the ULL opening when they hired Bob Marlin (not necessarily by ULL, more by media types checking on his interest) and at the time he seemed to have no interest in leaving the pro game.

Of course, that suspension for a year has certainly changed his tune on that.
