Today we catch up with Sacramento State head coach David Patrick. Patrick's basketball journey may include more miles on it than any coach we've talked to so far. He was born in Bermuda and raised in Australia. After his professional career was derailed by injury, he used those connections Down Under to help enhance his recruiting portfolio -- that included his godson, and future #1 NBA draft pick, Ben Simmons. All that work ultimately led Patrick to getting his first Division I head coaching job at UC Riverside.
