[edit] Biography
Patrick R. Henry (born November 7, ??? in Warner Robins, Georgia), is an assistant women's basketball coach for Texas State. Henry attended Northside High School in Warner Robins, Georgia. While at Northside, he served as both a manager and a volunteer assistant coach. An unusual situation and with Henry often coaching players who where older than him, many believe Henry to be the youngest coach ever to win a GHSA sanction game, coaching Northside's 9th Grade Boy's basketball team to a 74-42 victory at the age of fourteen against the Perry High School 9th Grade Boys' Basketball team.
After graduation, Henry enrolled at Florida State University, in Tallahassee, Florida where he became a student manager under Marynell Meadors (current Head Coach and General Manager of the Atlanta WNBA franchise, the Atlanta Dream). After his sophomore year, he transferred to Ohio University in Athens, Ohio, where he majored in communications and was a student manager under then legendary Ohio head coach Larry Hunter.
After graduating in 1998, Henry became a associate coach at his alma mater, Northside High School. After one season, he left to become an assistant coach at Florida Southern College in Lakeland, Florida. From Florida Southern, Henry moved to Frank Phillips College, then to Georgia Southern, and serving a brief stint at East Texas Baptist University.
He later moved on to Mercer University where he remained as an assistant, until accepting a position with the women's basketball program at Texas State University where he was named Associate Head Coach in 2008.
