Henry assists in oversight of the daily organizational aspects of the Ole Miss women’s program’s operations and provides assistance to the coaching staff.
“I am elated to have Patrick join our program,” McPhee-McCuin said, “He is a great addition for Ole Miss women’s basketball because of his roles in various capacities with several championship collegiate programs and professional organizations.” McPhee-McCuin added, “Along with multiple championship experiences, his relationships forged in the sports industry and corporate world as a consultant will be a positive impact on our staff as we continue to elevate our program.”
Recognized as one of the best strategic minds in basketball and sports consulting industry, Henry comes to Ole Miss with over two decades of experience in athletics. He has worked at the High School, Junior College, Division III, Division II and Division I levels as an assistant coach, at the professional level as an advanced scout and a sports industry and executive coaching consultant since 2015.
“I am truly humbled to be a part of the women’s basketball program at Ole Miss and the tremendous foundation of success Coach Yo has built,” Henry said, “I look forward to the opportunity to add value and help execute the championship vision she has created as we continue to make history at one of premier programs in the country and show that there are ‘No Ceilings’ on what can be accomplished here at the University of Mississippi and the Southeastern Conference.”

In his two years at Miami, he identified and recruited two first year starters as freshmen, including a First Team All-Conference and a Conference Freshmen of the year selection, as well as the program’s all-time leading scorer.
