ESPN national recruiting director Paul Biancardi says Arkansas associate head coach David Patrick is the real deal.
“I’m impressed with the way he carries himself,” Biancardi said. “He’s a very good recruiter. He’s a good basketball coach with Xs and Os. I think he brings the whole package as an associate head coach.”
Patrick was the head coach at the UC Riverside the last two seasons and was a finalist for two national awards after leading the Highlanders to a 17-15 record this past season. The 17 victories tied the most wins in Division I program history.
