Jeff Borzello: "NEWS: LSU is hiring Sacramento State head coach David Patrick as Matt McMahon's associate head coach, sources told ESPN. It will be Patrick’s second stint in Baton Rouge after serving on Johnny Jones’ staff from 2012-16. Proven high-major recruiter with head coaching experience."
Wow, wow,wow! I really thought Patrick would stay around longer but with NIL money now playing such a dominant role in college basketball and the Hornets having no hope of ever building up a 'war chest' for recruiting and retaining purposes...
